House at Wortley, near Sheffield is a 1812 watercolor by Francis Stevens, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a small stone house with two chimneys puffing smoke. A woman in a long dress and apron stands near a wooden well, holding a bucket. Lean-to sheds and stacked firewood fill the yard, with chickens scratching the dirt. The artist focused on everyday rural life, not grand scenes. The soft colors and gentle light make it feel quiet and real. Look up Romanticism to see how artists used nature and simple moments like this.
A watercolour painting titled *House at Wortley, near Sheffield* was created by Francis Stevens in 1812.
