The Old Parsonage, New Radnor

About this work

This watercolor shows a quiet village scene with old stone houses and a winding road. The buildings have crooked roofs, some with chimneys, and one has a small porch. A few bare trees line the street, and a couple of people walk in the distance. The sky is light and cloudy, with soft colors blending together. The artist used loose brushstrokes to keep it feeling sketchy and quick, like a snapshot. The houses look weathered, with patches of moss or ivy clinging to the walls.
