That doesn't even look like a painting, it looks like a picture taken from a tv.

It's not good, I know. My friend sent a photo' to my 'phone which I then took a photo' of with my Kindle (I am partially sighted so need a larger keyboard). This was then reduced to show the above. Didn't want to show whole scene as it is not my property. Sorry if this offends you.
Just trying to help an old friend try to identify where a painting (inherited) might depict, or be based on. There are also cottages in the painting. The 'ruins's are on a a river/canal side.
It's a river/canal scene with a cottage, trees, a couple of small sailing boats, and a woman in old style clothes and what looks like a white bonnet. The ruins are set back slightly on the far bank. Have tried to add another photograph but not letting me.

The landscape could give a clue, but I think it's fantasy

Montacute House garden follies. This isn't the same, but you can see similarities.
Rectangular with an onion dome, open arches, obelisk forms.
Maybe look into who designed the garden at Montacute House, at what time period, and look further into contemporary (same time period) houses and landscape designers? Note that most landscape follies were not designed by architects but by gardeners, the most famous of whom was Capability Brown (he also has the best name).
Are these actual ruins?
These ruins appear in an old painting. Are they real? If so, where? Or are they imaginary?
When is your homework due?
Too old for homework. Only housework - 70's.
You fooled me then because you have identical research skills as today's highschool kids.

What's the whole painting
Seeing the whole painting would help.
The closest thing I could find was Sodor Castle from Thomas the Tank Engine...
Probably imaginary ruins in the style of abbey ruins from the British Isles..
Too many 'buildings'.

Do you know who the painter was, or have their signature?
No signature on painting. Someone has written Stubbs on the back but that seems highly unlikely.
The ruins in the background are from this particular castle:
Those who know, know.
I know.
Is that the Kubrick movie? I hated that movie.
Donna, don't think so. The ruins are from a 1974 John Boorman flick.
Charlie Boorman's father?! Oh my goodness, Charlie Boorman is a big crush of mine.
Bigger than Brad?
zardoz!
I contain multitudes, Non.
It looks vaguely Islamic to me? Maybe an Islamic-architecture-style folly in an English garden?
