Edgar woollatt was a nottingham artist who specialised in figurative and landscape works in watercolour. He exhibited throughout the midlands and at the royal academy. This charming original watercolour painting depicts the scene outside the building known as the round house which used to stand on clifton lane in the wilford district of nottingham. The creamy stone walls of the building and its ornate windows give a glimpse of its quirky character. There is heavy foliage around the property and the house itself is perfectly framed between the branches of two large trees. In front of the round house is a romany gypsy traveller horse drawn caravan, perched on tall wooden wheels, and two figures, apparently engaged in conversation. There are half a dozen hens roaming freely on the grass verge. The painting is executed with a light, delicate touch and provides a reminder of life at the turn of the twentieth century. The palette suggests this is late summer.
