Framed behind glass. Patrick Nasmyth was a Scottish landscape painter and the eldest son of artist Alexander Nasmyth (1758-1840). He lost the use of his right hand following an accident while preparing for a sketching trip with his father and later invented a traveling booth, which would protect him from the elements and allow him to paint en plein air in any weather. He traveled to London and exhibited in the British Institution. Nasmyth was called the "English Hobbema" in reference to the famous Dutch Golden Age landscape artist Meindert Hobbema.
