This watercolor shows a tall church with a pointed tower and arched doors. In front, a horse pulls a cart down a dirt road. A few people stand near the church’s entrance, and a dog sits by the cart. The sky is light with soft clouds, and the buildings look old and simple. The artist used loose brushstrokes to keep it feeling quick and sketchy. The church’s details stand out against the softer background. Look up Edward Dayes to see more of his work.
