Rustic cottage is a 1866 watercolor by Edwin Toovey, a Impressionism work, depicting Cottage, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a small, weathered cottage with a thatched roof. The walls are made of rough stone and wood, and the roof has patches of grass growing on it. A simple wooden fence runs along the front, and two people stand near the door, dressed in dark clothes. The sky is soft and pale, with trees in the background.
