This painting of the celebrated oak at Penshurst, planted to celebrate the birth of Sir Philip Sidney, reflects the developing Victorian fascination with national heroes. Nasmyth favoured oaks in his paintings, as well as mixed-wooded effects, and looked to Ruisdael and Hobbema for inspiration in painting them.
