The place from where the scene was painted is unclear, possibly somewhere on the east side of Little Langdale village (NY318032). Wetherlam (2503ft/763m) is the prominant peak on the left of the picture, with Great Carrs (2575ft/785m) to the right. The higher peak of Swirl How (2633ft/802m) is hidden behind Wetherlam. Isabel has slightly exagerrated the vertical elevation or ‘pointiness’ of the hills.
