About the Item

This charming watercolour depicts a rustic rural scene with travellers on horseback journeying along a country road. The sign ahead of them points to London and the merry travellers make haste in the same direction. The composition masterfully balances the foreground figures against a soft, hazy landscape background, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere characteristic of 19th-century pastoral art. On paper.
