1850
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Farmyard with a pool is a 1850 watercolor by William Henry Hunt, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two old wooden buildings in a quiet yard. One has a peaked roof and a small porch, while the other is more rustic, with logs stacked neatly. A simple wooden fence runs along a shallow pool of water, and trees stand tall in the background, their leaves soft and green. The artist used watercolor to keep the scene light and airy, with gentle washes of color for the sky and trees. The buildings look worn but sturdy, and the whole scene feels peaceful, like a moment frozen in time. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
