The Outlaw, 1861 (oil on canvas)

Lush wooded landscape seen from a high viewpoint: a sloped meadow with dense woodland in the background, with two figures hidden within scrub in the centre foreground. The figures are a woman cradling the head of an injured man: the woman, in Medieval-style dress, leans forward over the man with a protective gesture, wrapping her left arm around his head, supporting his back with her right arm, and turning her head to one side with an apprehensive expression on her face; the man, largely obscured by his companion, has an arrow protruding from his chest or shoulder, which he holds with his right hand. In the top right corner is a tiny bloodhound bounding down the slope. A pair of tall, slender trees divide the composition on the left. The overall impression is of greenness. The frame is of gilt softwood with an arched slip frame. It is plain with ribbon beading and leafy moulding along the outer edge.
