Old houses near Bath is a 1866 watercolor by Charles Green, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a row of old stone houses with steep roofs and small windows. In front, a garden grows with leafy plants and a narrow path leading up to the buildings. The sky is soft and pale, with light clouds, while the walls of the houses look worn and warm. The artist used watercolor to keep the scene loose and airy, focusing on light and simple shapes. Notice how the greens in the garden contrast with the gray of the stone. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
Charles Green R.I. (1840–1898), was a British watercolourist and illustrator. He was the brother of Towneley Green R.I. (1836–1899).
