A fantastic antique original watercolour on paper painting by Lily Williams ARHA (b.1874 - d.1940). This emotive piece depicts a white washed cottage swaddled by the surrounding mountainscape. This work is likely a study for "Mountain Road with Cottage," a larger work by Williams which sold at Whyte's for €550.
Mm: 36 x 30 cm
