This drawing by Benjamin West depicts a rural scene with a group of buildings, likely a parsonage house in the village of Henstead. The composition is simple and elegant, with a focus on the architectural details of the buildings and the surrounding landscape. West's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the trees, fence, and the figures in the foreground. Though best known for his history paintings, West was also a skilled landscape artist, as evidenced by this work. The drawing likely dates from the late 18th century when West was at the height of his career.
