The Old Church House, Clifton

About this work

This watercolor shows a large, pale yellow building with a steep roof and two tall chimneys. A big tree with dark green leaves sits in front, while a narrow path winds past a low fence. The sky is bright blue, and the ground has patches of yellow and green grass. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to capture light and shadow, especially on the building’s windows and the tree’s leaves. Check out Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
