The Old Barn, Arreton, Isle of Wight is a 1894 watercolor by Marie Spartali Stillman, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a serene landscape with a large barn and a smaller outbuilding, surrounded by trees and a stone wall. A white horse stands in the water in front of the barn, and geese are nearby. The scene is depicted in muted colors, with a focus on earth tones. The artist has used watercolor and gouache on paper to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The brushstrokes are visible, adding to the overall impression of a peaceful, rural scene. The painting is a beautiful example of Impressionism, capturing the quiet beauty of the natural world.
Marie Spartali Stillman (1890–1900) was an artist.
