## Commentary

Stevens was a painter who specialised in landscapes. In the centre of this composition, standing by a road junction, is an inn. In front of it sits a resting traveller, while on the road beside it another has set out again on his journey. Approaching the junction, where a horse-drawn cart has stopped, is a man with a peg-leg. On the right in the background, the ruins of an old castle can be seen.
