A View near Matlock, Derbyshire with Figures Working beneath a Wooden Conveyor

A View near Matlock, Derbyshire with Figures Working beneath a Wooden Conveyor is a Romantic painting by Philip James de Loutherbourg, created 1785. This notable work is held at Yale Center for British Art. De Loutherbourg's theatrical oil technique deployed dramatic chiaroscuro and vivid atmospheric effects—glowing furnace light, moonlight on water, storm-raked sky—that he had developed through his work as a scene designer for David Garrick at Drury Lane.

The composition balances the expansive Derbyshire landscape with the carefully observed industrial detail of the wooden conveyor system, using warm earth tones and atmospheric perspective to integrate human activity into the natural setting. The handling of light across the rocky terrain demonstrates close observation of the specific topographic character of the Matlock area.
