About this work

This watercolor shows a garden scene with a few people standing around. There are statues on pedestals, a low table with a vase, and a wall with a bench behind them. The trees are leafy and green, and the light looks soft, like a sunny day. The artist used loose brushstrokes, giving the scene a sketchy, quick feel. The people and statues are simple shapes, not detailed. Look up Richard Redgrave to see more of his work.
