Dashwood House from West Wycombe Hill is a 1940 watercolor by Seabrooke, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a big house sitting in a valley, surrounded by rolling hills. Trees with bare branches stretch across the top, while bushes and grass fill the foreground. The colors are soft—lots of pale greens, blues, and yellows—with quick, loose brushstrokes that make it feel alive. The artist used watercolor, letting the paint blend in some spots while leaving white paper to show light. The house looks simple but stands out against the wild, uneven landscape.
