Showery Weather, Bettws-y-Coed is a 1868 watercolor by John Lloyd Bond, a British Romanticism work, depicting Catalogue, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting shows a landscape with trees and a road in the background. The scene is depicted in shades of gray, with some darker tones in the trees and lighter tones in the sky. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity. One interesting detail is the way the artist has used chiaroscuro to create depth and contrast in the painting.
