Artist, American, born England, 1913 - 2002

The image shows a rural scene with two large horses on a pebbled road in a village. Stone walls and rustic buildings flank the path. The village features closely packed stone houses with steeply pitched roofs. In the distance, a church with twin spires is visible against a plain sky. The painting displays meticulous brushstrokes, capturing details of bricks and foliage with structured precision. The color palette consists of sepia tones, evoking an antique feel.
