The Steps of a House at Mousehole, Cornwall is a 1880 watercolor by Walter Langley, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a serene scene of a house with steps leading up to it, set against a backdrop of a cloudy sky. The house is rendered in muted colors, with a focus on earthy tones such as brown and beige. A chimney rises from the roof, adding a sense of depth to the composition. In the foreground, the steps are depicted in a gentle curve, inviting the viewer to ascend. The surrounding environment is sparse, with no visible vegetation or other features to distract from the central focus of the house and its steps. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists who explored the Impressionism movement.
Walter Langley was an English painter and founder of the Newlyn School of plein air artists.
