Artist, British, 1903 - 1980

The image displays a stone church with a slate roof, slightly off-center toward the right. The sky dominates the upper portion, with subtle cloud and bird details. Detailed linework is used for the stonework and foliage. The color palette is sepia, imparting an antiquated feel. Sheep graze in the foreground, a stone wall separates the churchyard, and the sun peeks through trees in the distance, all framed by branches and leaves on the right.
