This watercolour shows a simple Georgian farmhouse near Sudbourne, Suffolk. Louisa Puller painted it in 1942 as part of a project called Recording Britain. The house sits among fir trees, giving it a quiet, enduring feel. Puller often added small signs of modern life like telephone wires to these scenes. Here, the wires are missing. The farmhouse looks almost untouched by time. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
