This sketch shows an old farm with two weathered buildings—one with dark wood walls and a thatched roof, the other made of exposed wooden beams. In the foreground, a cow grazes near a fence, while a small dog sits in the grass. The artist used loose, watery lines to suggest trees, bushes, and a rocky hillside, keeping everything soft and sketchy. The signature reads "R.T. Cowern, 1940," and the title notes it’s Lugg’s Hill Farm in Colwall. The light touch of the watercolor makes the scene feel quiet and simple, like a snapshot of rural life. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works by Cowern.
