This watercolor shows an old stone house with a tall, narrow tower and small windows. In front, a muddy yard has sheep grazing under bare trees. The house looks worn, with patches of red on the walls and a simple wooden fence. The whole scene feels quiet and a little cold, with dry grass and leafless branches. The artist signed it "Puller, 1942," so this was made during World War II. The sheep and simple buildings give it a calm, everyday feel—no drama, just daily life.
