This picture of Henley Manor near Crewkerne in Somerset is dominated by the three large trees which divide up the scene. There are chickens in the foreground and a boy, possibly Knighton-Hammond’s son, John. Henley Manor and other buildings are in the background. One has the feeling that this picture was painted at speed with pure, direct watercolour.
