This anonymous watercolor, "Country House," depicts a grand dwelling nestled in a verdant landscape. The building, with its symmetrical facade and rows of windows, suggests a stately residence. The surrounding hills, painted in soft hues of green and brown, create a sense of peaceful seclusion. The artist's delicate brushstrokes and subtle use of color give the scene a serene and nostalgic feel. This work, dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, is a charming example of landscape painting, capturing a glimpse into the life and architecture of a bygone era.
