Woman at a Pump before a Thatched Cottage
Prout produced many versions of roadside cottages and figures, and many of these were also extensively copied during the height of his fame in the Victorian period, including by his nephew. It has often been observed that such works could be stylised pot-boilers, and that his best work was more naturalistic, often monochrome, and of English subjects.
This watercolour is characteristic of a type often painted by the artist, but as it is unsigned is listed here as attributed to Samuel Prout.
