2021.21.1Description
Framed painting of an ochre-colored two story house with red trim and two-over-two windows, a red door with transom above, and a central chimney. An attached ell off to the left of the house has a single door, window, and chimney and is painted half ochre and half gray like the barn behind the ell. Three trees of varying heights, green at the uppermost branches and with trunks exposed nearer the ground block the right side of the front and side of the house. A stone wall curves away from the middle and tallest tree; another stone wall is set slightly back and runs along the left middle ground behind the people and cow. A man dressed in black with a yellow (straw?) hat stands beside a child dressed in red. To the right of them is a cow feeding or drinking from a large bucket. The sky is blue with a few low white puffy clouds. Green grass and shrubbery complete the picture. The painting is identified, signed, and dated on the back in GEB's hand.Artwork Details
