Leman was a talented landscape artist who was a follower of John Sell Cotman in Norwich. He was a member of the Norwich Amateur Club in the 1830s, exhibiting at the Norwich Society and was a friend of many of the later generation of Norwich School artists. The depiction of the gate is reminiscent of Cotman's `Drop Gate, Duncombe Park' in the British Museum.
