A View of Lyme Hall from the North

British (English) School. Oil painting on canvas. A View of Lyme Hall from the North. British School, early 18th century (circa 1700-1710). A view of Lyme in its Elizabethan state. The House front is not symmetrical and the majority of the windows are mullioned, although the Yellow Bedroom sash windows are visible. The original Stag Parlour is also visible with its former double windows. The forecourt is walled rather than railed and the gate piers shown can now be found at the North Park entrance. To the left of the house are a parterre and fountain and a Bowling Green with pavilion. Lime Avenue is newly planted and terminates with a triumphal arch. Paddock cottage can be seen on the hill to the right. In the foreground figures are hunting a group of stag, which are running and swimming across a Stag Pond at the left of the painting.
