Hal Yates 1907 - 1979

Summary

A winter scene captured from a high vantage point. In the foreground is a sloped roof, suggesting the artist was working from an upstairs window. The roof is blanketed with white snow. On the ground is a small lane with a single figure walking, holding a suitcase or briefcase. Further away is a small row of red coloured houses, each with long fenced and hedged gardens, and trees dotted, Towards the horizon are empty fields, suggesting a rural setting for the painting.
