`The Roundhouse, Calceby Corner, Lincolnshire`
Evelyn Pears (fl.1900-1920)
A large and impressive oil by Lincolnshire artist Evelyn Pears depicting the Roundhouse, a well known landmark at Calceby Corner in Lincolnshire. Robustly painted with nice texture and excellent understanding of light effects - note the pools of sun in front of the gate and the soft shadow on the cottage walls. Housed in a very nice period Edwardian frame.
