Artist, Scottish, 1876 - 1953

The image depicts a view from a slightly elevated perspective. A building dominates the right side of the composition. The horizon line is low, barely visible in the distance, with a faint outline of hills or distant land against a vast sky. The brushstrokes are delicate and intricate, characteristic of an etching technique, with fine lines creating shading and details. The color palette is monochrome with sepia tones. A path or road leads towards the building, where a figure and a horse-drawn cart are shown. The building looks weathered with visible cracks and historical architectural features.
