"Ye Old King's Head", Aylesbury is a 1940 watercolor by Anderson, a social realism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a corner of a two-story building with a steep roof and small, diamond-pane windows. A man in old-fashioned clothes is tying a sack near a stone wall, while another person walks by. Inside one window, someone sits with a vase of flowers, and a group of people stands under an archway in the background. The building’s name, *Ye Old King’s Head*, is carved above the window. The artist used soft, light colors to show details like the rough stone and wooden beams. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
