This watercolour is from a group of around thirteen works which had been presented by Gainsborough to his friend, Goodenough Earle, of Barton Grange, Taunton, and dates to the early 1760’s. John Hayes once described it as being 'pitched high in key and full of sunshine’ (J. Hayes, 1966, op. cit.). From the group gifted to Earle, two works share notable similarities with the present drawing. The first Wooded Landscape with Peasant, Horse and Cart, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (inv. 17.120.235; J. Hayes, 1970, no. 260) and the second Wooded Landscape with Country Cart and Woodcutter, in a private collection. All three of these drawings are stamped with Gainsborough’s golden monogram, which it is believed signified the artist considered them to be of presentation quality.
