Description
An inlet in a lake surrounded by mountains.
Commentary
Likely a rapid sketch in situ. Possibly in England. Thin paint over very loosely primed panel, some scratching out. A light palette with areas of reserved surface typical of A Fleming.

Given to Alec Fleming in the catalogue.
Catalogue wording: “Alec Fleming Unsigned”

A Fleming.
The reverse is marked “A Fleming” in block capitals. Many boards in the collection carry this marking, and some of them are considered to be by Barbara Fleming. The marking may record ownership rather than authorship and is not treated here as evidence of attribution.
