Edward Benjamin Herberte, Outside The Inn

Edward Benjamin Herberte, Outside The InnThis mid 19th century oil painting by British artist Edward Benjamin Herberte (1830 1896) depicts a busy gathering outside The Barley Mow, a charming village pub. Wherever you look, theres a story. Its a veritable hive of activity. Towards the middle, an older gentleman leans to chat to a bustle wearing woman. Alongside, a muscular grey horse rests unsaddled. In the lower right, a stout shepherd guides his marked flock through a rickety five bar gate.

while his wife remains at home and occasionally mingles within the realms of high society
