Borrowdale Birches in Early Spring by Alfred Heaton Cooper (1863 - 1929) Art Materials - Schminkle A book about the wayThe Jaws of Borrowdale, between Castle Crag and Kings How, form a formidable gorge for the River Derwent as it heads north towards Derwentwater. Here, Alfred has painted the birch trees near the river and the gorse nearby in the bright flush of spring, with new leaves green in the trees canopies. Behind them, the eastern cliffs of the Jaws rise up to a sky of torn clouds with a hint of blue. Inner Print Sizes: Canvas 872 x 1242 mm 34. 3 x 48. 9 inches
