About this work

This watercolor shows a row of old houses with sloped roofs and chimneys. The buildings are painted in soft yellows, grays, and browns, with some red roofs peeking through. One house has a small shop below with a yellow awning, and a few people stand outside. The artist focused on simple shapes and muted colors, skipping details like faces or fancy decorations. The paint looks light and sketchy, almost like a quick study. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like it.
