Garden at Clifton Hall 1845

"Garden at Clifton Hall" (1845), a watercolor by Elizabeth Murray, depicts a formal garden setting with symmetrical landscaping and architectural features. The central staircase leading to a terrace with a flowering arrangement creates a sense of grandeur, emphasized by the surrounding trees and statues. The two figures in the distance add a human scale to the scene, while the overall composition evokes a serene and tranquil atmosphere. Murray's delicate brushstrokes and soft color palette capture the beauty and detail of this English garden.
