Cottage at Diss

British 19th Century, after John Sell Cotman

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a ground-level perspective of a worn and damaged roofed structure surrounded by vegetation. The style is a pencil sketch with delicate brushstrokes creating shading and texture. The roof is partially collapsed with visible wooden slats. Three pigs are lounging on the ground, with trees and foliage in the background. The color palette is monochromatic with whites and grays.
