A stone-walled well or spring set into a terraced bank, with a low stone basin in the foreground and dense trees and a railing above. The caption places this shaded corner in the grounds of Blenheim Palace, the Oxfordshire seat of the Dukes of Marlborough; the name Rosamund's Well recalls Fair Rosamund, the twelfth-century mistress of Henry II associated with Woodstock.
