About MeLike the work of Charles Hazlewood Shannon and William McTaggart, Murray has integrated the figures of the men into the landscape so that at first it is difficult to see them.

Painted at a time when Victorian rules of conduct were very strict, this picture of countryside abandon is a bit of a surprise.
