Erskine Nicol RSA ARA (1825-1904) COUPLE RESTING BY A GRASSEY KNOLL, 1852 oil on board signed and dated lower right; with framer`s details stamped on reverse 24.13 by 37.465cm., 9.5 by 14.75in. L This work was executed the same year as a comparable work in oil now in the collection of the Tate entitled Wayside Prayer, 1852, presented by Sir Henry Tate in 1894 (Tate reference, N01537). The female character wears the same dress and headscarf in both works and the setting, gravely path and rickety fence all bear a striking resemblance to the Tate`s example. It is possible that the woman in this work is also praying, having perhaps had some sustenance from the jug in the left foreground. However, the animated face of the man, his gaze directed towards her, suggests a more light-hearted flirtatious ambience. His left hand appears to be touching the ring finger of his right, indicating perhaps their relationship either present or anticipated.

The first sort depends on such alterations in our atmosphere &c as are capable of being measured by he barometer thermometer, hygrometer, pyrometer, electrometer &c &c...the second sort or the mechanical has been repeatedly demonstrated to be impossible and for the following reason. This second sort is founded on the power of gravity...’ Charles, 3rd Earl Stanhope, was both a politician and a scientist, and is best known for his inventions of the printing press and the lens which both bear his name.
