Elizabethan Gatehouse, Stokesay is a 1941 watercolor by Puller, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a half-timbered building with a steep, thatched roof. The walls are made of exposed wooden beams crisscrossing over white plaster. A stone staircase leads up to a small porch with a wooden door and a window above it. Bushes and a fence edge the scene, and the sky is pale and soft. The artist focused on the building’s old-style design, which looks like it’s from a long time ago. The loose, watercolor brushstrokes keep it light and quick, not too detailed.
