‘English Churchyard’
British School, mid 20th Century
An atmospheric oil on board depicting a rustic stone farmhouse beside a churchyard cross, bathed in soft afternoon light. The artist’s expressive brushwork and layered impasto lend depth and tactility to the composition, evoking the timeless quiet of the English countryside. Earthy tones of ochre and grey are offset by the warmth of the tiled roof and dappled greens of summer foliage.
