This painting is called Old Houses, Ballingdon. It was created by Rowland Suddaby around 1940. The painting is part of the Recording Britain scheme, which gives it a specific context. Rowland Suddaby had a connection to the area, as it's near the birthplace of Thomas Gainsborough. He even settled there after the war and became curator of Gainsborough's House.
