A Rustic House with a Tottering Wood Fence

Joseph Constantine Stadler, after Joseph Farington

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rural scene with an old timber-framed house in the center, surrounded by rolling hills, clusters of trees, and a dirt path. A horse, figure, and wooden fence are on the right side. The brushstrokes are detailed, emphasizing the texture of the architecture. The color palette includes muted earth tones and soft grays against a lightly clouded sky.
