This painting shows a large stone house with a steep roof and chimneys. In front, three people ride horses along a dirt path, while another person walks nearby with a dog. Trees line the left side, and the sky is pale with soft clouds. The artist used light watercolors to show details like the house’s windows and the riders’ clothes. The scene looks calm, like a quiet moment in a rural area. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
