Wells, St. Valery: Thatched Sheds and Cattle

A pencil and watercolor sketch of two thatched-roof wooden sheds with open front bays, set on a pale ground. A standing figure in a hat stands at left, with ducks and a small cow drawn in pencil at the right and bottom. The washes are soft and the lines loose, suggesting a quick study made outdoors.
