Lot Essay

Varley probably travelled through Herefordshire on his way to Wales. Another view of Goodrich, looking downstream on the River Wye, is dated to 1833 and at the National Museum Wales, Cardiff. The foliage covered ruin explores ideas of the picturesque.
For a note on the artist, please see lot 43.
