Artist, British, 1903 - 1980

The image is an etching of an old structure, possibly a barn or shed, positioned on the left side and extending partially to the right. The side and front of the building are visible, emphasizing its weathered wooden planks and shingled roof with grass on top. The horizon line is in the upper part of the artwork, with softer, lighter lines suggesting distant landscapes and sky. The fine lines give texture and depth to the scene, with a monochromatic sepia tone adding a vintage feel. Overgrown grasses and shrubs frame the lower part of the structure.
