Artist, Scottish, 1883 - 1959

The image depicts a rural landscape with a dirt path or lightly paved road leading towards a distant house. The horizon is high in the composition, with a large expanse of sky. The brushstrokes appear loose and quick, suggesting a watercolor medium and allowing for a blending of colors. The color palette is soft and muted, with cool greys, blues, and earth tones. A stone wall with grass tufts is on the left, and in the distance, a figure walks towards a white house. A few trees stand against the horizon.
