Countryside, 1860 - 1880
About the object
A view of the countryside with typical thatched farm buildings. A small village can be seen further along the road amidst a group of tall trees. A local labourer carrying buckets is shown paying his respect to a large stone stele on the far left. Although the season is early summer with fresh vegetation appearing in neat rows within the carefully-tended fields, autumn colours have been added by the colourist, lending vivid yet contrasting highlights to the scene.
