Here, Callander has portrayed the estate buildings from an angle which shows how well-maintained the grounds were by the enslaved people living there. A variety of tropical palms and other trees resembling oaks are spaced out providing shade.

Only one enslaved man is depicted for scale, wearing a red coat, engaged in sweeping leaves. His possession of coat was a privilege; he must have been rewarded for his service, like ‘Fido’ at Waltham, who was a very long-serving carpenter. George Home sent Fido a greatcoat in 1814/15 as a reward along with an additional barrel of salted beef hearts and skirts to set a good example to others on the estate.

This painting was conserved in 2022 with a grant from the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund.
