Whitehall House, Cheam

About this work

This painting shows a two-story wooden house with steep roofs and small windows. The walls are a plain green-gray, and the house sits on a grassy yard with a tree shading part of it. In the background, another smaller house and a fence are visible, all under a soft, pale sky. The artist signed it "A.C. Bown" in the corner, which matches the name in the facts. The brushstrokes are loose and light, giving it a gentle, sketchy feel. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
