About this work

This watercolor shows a quiet country house with a tall chimney and a small porch. The building sits behind a tree with bare branches, and a few bushes grow near the front. The sky is pale blue with soft clouds, and the colors are mostly muted greens, yellows, and browns. The artist focused on simple shapes and light shading to show depth. The brushstrokes are loose, giving it a sketchy, quick feel. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
