Edward Wesson

A charming original watercolour by the highly regarded British artist Edward Wesson (1910–1983), depicting a peaceful rural landscape with a winding country road, mature trees and an expansive sky. Wesson was celebrated for his confident, expressive brushwork and his ability to capture the atmosphere of the British countryside with remarkable economy of detail.
