Mid to late 19th century oil painting on hard paperboard signed lower left E. W. Cooke that may refer to few British painters.

Depicts atmospheric lakeland landscape with sailing boat, steamer in distance, fortifications on the left. Masterly painted on plein air (?) in brief and confident brushstrokes. Antique oil painting on canvas, signed lower left, framed.
