This watercolor shows a small, weathered stone house with a steep thatched roof. A man stands outside near the door, holding a child’s hand, while chickens peck at the ground. The yard is fenced with simple wooden posts, and another small building sits to the right. The thatched roof is a detail that looks old and practical, not decorative. The artist used soft watercolor strokes to keep the scene calm and quiet. You can see more of this artist’s work at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
