This is probably a view in North Wales, being similar to two other signed and dated works of 1791, The River Cynwyd near Corwen (repr. English Drawings, Watercolours and Paintings, exhibition catalogue, Colnaghi's, November-December 1973, no.92, pl.XXXV) and Pont-y-Pair on the River Llugwy, near Betws-y-Coed, Denbigh (repr. L.Hawes, Presences of Nature: British Landscape 1780-1830, New Haven, 1982, p.162, no.IV.4, pl.136). As Hawes remarks, 'rock structures dominate - a pictorial preference that owes something to the artist's close friendship with William Day, a geologist and gifted amateur artist, who in fact accompanied Webber on both his Derbyshire [1789] and Welsh tours' (loc.cit.)
