'Vue du Rutli'
A watercolour of a lake (Rutli, Switzerland) surrounded by mountains with trees in the foreground. On the back is written in pencil:
'Vue du Rutli pr executer en grand & a l'huile, ciel plus gris uni du Bisten au Rothstock, plus fonce a droite, clairs rose a gauche fond de montagnes d'un gris neutre moins violet & uni - lac calme & a reflets
2de & 3eme montagne de droite a rectifier avec paturages & chalets.'
In the bottom right hand corner of the back again in pencil: 'Mai 1864'
Before that, in black ink: painted by M. Nicolas Karth.
The Herschel children's governess at the time was a Mrs Karth, this presumably was painted by a male relative.
