The White Horse, Charleywood by Berthe Des Clayes is an 8.8 x 11.5 inch watercolour on paper produced circa 1930 and signed in the bottom left corner. It is also signed and titled on the reverse and features a London address where Des Clayes painted.




This winter landscape painting portrays a snow-covered cottage nestled in a quaint village. A winding path leads toward the home, its roof covered in thick snow. Small figures congregate on a bench beneath a lightpost, chatting in the cold. The bare branches of trees above contrast against the muted sky.




Des Clayes was known for her idyllic countryside settings that combined classic winter elements with a timeless impressionistic style.
