This painting shows a row of old houses with sloped roofs. The walls are made of rough stone, and the roofs look weathered, with some missing shingles. In the background, a church tower rises above the buildings, and the whole scene is painted in soft, earthy colors. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to capture light and shadow. The watercolor feels fresh but also a little faded, like the buildings themselves. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
