About this work

This painting shows a two-story house with a flat roof and pale walls. The front door is arched, and there are tall windows with curtains inside. Palm trees and bushes grow close to the building, and a bench sits in the grass to the right. The artist used soft watercolors to keep the scene light and airy. The house looks simple but well-kept, with a mix of stone and plaster. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
