Joseph Murray Ince (1806-1859) - River Landscape

Joseph Murray Ince's tutor was David Cox and this example of a river landscpe from 1841 is typical of his influence. Although famous for his drawings of the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, Ince also was an accomplished landscape artist and made various tours to Wales which this drawing may have been completed on.
