Although the attribution of this work to the Bristol landscape artist William James Müller had not previously been questioned, the signature on the rock at lower centre does not match his handwriting on other signed works. Müller was ambidextrous and painted with his left hand, and evidence of left-handed brushstrokes are visible on many of his works, but are not easily discernible here. After his early death, Müller’s biographer wrote that ‘many imitations and spurious works have been brought into the market and sold as his’.
