Gordale Scar是约克郡附近的一片石灰岩峭壁。沃德为当地的地主Lord Ribblesdale画了这幅画。他通过巧妙地操纵视角来强调悬崖的高度和规模。在前景中，他展示了鹿和牛，包括一头来自（原本是野生的）Chillingham牧群的白公牛，它似乎守卫着Gordale Beck的裂缝。在拿破仑战争的最后几年，沃德致力于描绘一个原始、不变的民族景观，被“约翰公牛”以动物形式捍卫。他的绘画也体现了时尚的“崇高”景观的令人敬畏的品质。

Gordale Scar is a bank of limestone cliffs near Settle, Yorkshire. Ward painted this picture for Lord Ribblesdale, a local landowner. He emphasised the height and scale of the cliffs by subtly manipulating the perspective. In the foreground he shows deer and cattle, including a white bull from the (originally wild) Chillingham herd, who appears to guard the cleft of Gordale Beck. Working in the last years of the Napoleonic wars, Ward aimed to depict a national landscape, primordial and unchanging, defended by ‘John Bull’ in animal form. His painting also epitomised the awe-inspiring qualities of the fashionable ‘Sublime’ landscape.
