About this work

This painting shows a quiet farmhouse in Virginia, its white walls glowing in sunlight. Two people stand near the door, one holding a basket. The scene feels still, like time paused. Lankes carved woodblocks too, but this is a watercolor sketch. It’s not finished, just a quick study. You can see the pencil lines under the paint. Check out more work by Julius J. Lankes at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
