This watercolor shows a simple Welsh dresser inside a cozy cottage. Joseph Clark painted it near the turn of the 20th century. It’s a quiet scene, not crowded with details. Clark often drew his family first, then painted them. He used his own cottage walls and furniture as backgrounds. This piece shows how he practiced with watercolor before his oil paintings. Look inside the Victoria and Albert Museum.
