History |
Painted by artist Caroline Farncomb who was a close family friend of the Harris Family. Farncomb painted several works for the family that are included in the Museums of Mississauga, Benares collection. This landscape painting was noted as 'dark and muddy' and not typical of some of her other works and does not showcase her true skills and talent.
