Second Family House, Alfred, ME. 1935 - 1942

"Second Family House, Alfred, ME." is a watercolor on paper by American folk artist Adelaide Dyball, created between 1935 and 1942. The artwork depicts a quaint rural scene with multiple houses, a barn, and a fence, all rendered in simple, yet charming, detail. Dyball's focus on depicting the everyday life of rural America through her artwork makes it a valuable record of the period and its architectural styles. The inclusion of birds in the sky adds a touch of whimsy to the composition, further enhancing the work's appeal.
