This painting depicts an autumnal landscape on a cloudy day and towering fells dominate the scene, rising above a small stone farmstead standing to the lower left of the composition. In the foreground the lone figure of a woman stands beside a group of haystacks in a cornfield bounded by drystone walls. Despite spending most of her time in London, Fell made frequent trips home to Aspatria. She was preoccupied with the area around Aspatria as an artist. The villages, cottages, farms, farm animals and people working in the fields and the Lake District fells were the subjects of her art. In her early work she used a dark colour range, as in this example, which lightened over the years. She applied her paint thickly and was influenced by Cezanne, Van Gogh and Frank Auberbach.
