The Downs, near Storrington, Sussex is a 1850 watercolor by Alfred Fitzwalter Grace, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet countryside scene with rolling hills in the distance. In the foreground, a person herds sheep across a grassy field. Nearby, there’s a small stone building with a thatched roof, surrounded by a low fence and a few trees. The sky is pale and soft, blending into the distant hills. The artist used light, loose brushstrokes to keep it simple and airy. If you like this style, check out Alfred Fitzwalter Grace.
