Artist, Scottish, 1876 - 1953

The image shows a riverside view with a docked sailboat and a small red-roofed building among trees. The horizon is positioned at the mid-upper third of the image, with trees and boat masts reaching upwards. Loose and fluid brushstrokes, typical of watercolor, depict textures of water and foliage. The color palette is soft with muted greens, blues, and earth tones, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The scene conveys depth, with the boat near us and the bridge and trees extending into the distance.
