From the collection of Danish critic and author Georg Bröchner, who wrote for the British art magazine "The Studio" in the early 20th century. Wells studied in Greece and traveled throughout Europe, rendering local structures and landscapes in drawings and watercolors. This could be an image of any number of Mediterranean locales, with its warm light, stucco architecture, and cypress.
