In the Cotswolds is a 1926 watercolor by David Muirhead, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet countryside scene. Rolling hills stretch out under a cloudy sky. The colors are mostly soft blues, greys, and whites, with a few darker patches for trees. Two tiny figures walk along a path near the bottom. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes—almost like scribbles—to suggest the sky and clouds. It feels fresh, like a sketch rather than a polished picture. Look up David Muirhead next to see more of his work.
