This watercolour shows Seckford Hall in 1941. It’s an old brick house saved from demolition just months before the artist painted it. The army used it for troops right after it was saved. Reeve chose watercolour for this architectural scene. The hall’s brickwork stands out against the land. Its future was uncertain when he painted it. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more.
