Mitcham Common, Surrey, shewing the road running along the west side is a 1819 watercolor by George Scharf, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet countryside scene with a dirt road running through green fields. Two horse-drawn carriages carry passengers, while sheep graze nearby. A large, pale-yellow house sits behind a white fence, surrounded by trees and smaller buildings. The artist used soft, light colors to make everything look calm and peaceful. The sky is pale and hazy, which adds to the gentle mood of the scene. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
