In this work, Bodichon depicts the heart of Eryri National Park. The overcast sky contrasts with the muted tones of the tree branches. This highlights a depth of field that allows us to appreciate the distance between the valley and the scattered bushes.
As a woman artist, Bodichon holds wider importance, providing a counterpoint to the dominance of men in 19th century landscape art.
