Artist, Scottish, 1876 - 1953

This print shows a rustic building in a natural setting, seen over a wall. The building has a textured roof and multiple chimneys, and some windows are visible. In front of the building appear to be two leafy trees or bushes, and the sky above is blank. The uneven wall on the left covers much of the building on that side, and on the right there seems to be a white picket fence. Where the wall and fence meet is a shape that could be the vague outline of a person standing in front of the building. The bottom half of the print is mostly blank, with a few thin vertical lines appearing to indicate grass.
