A very fine mid 19th century watercolour showing a path running up the side of a stream. A bridge over the water leads to a charming thatched cottage under leafy trees. Figures are crossing the bridge and a young girl can be seen with a stick at the water's edge.
The artist has inscribed, signed and dated indistinctly to the lower right corner. The painting is presented in a brushed gilt effect frame with a white mount. On watercolour paper.
The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and areas of foxing. The frame is in fine condition.
