Artist, British, 1893 - 1977

The image captures a pastoral landscape as seen from a window. Rolling hills, cloudy skies, buildings, fields, and trees are depicted with smooth brushstrokes and a dream-like quality. The color scheme is earthy, featuring soft greens, browns, ochre, and hints of gray. Closest to the viewer are furrowed plots of earth, fields, and trees, framed by windowpanes.
