This work is one of a number of watercolours Chase van der Bol produced in the late 1980s focusing on traditional Caymanian houses in and around South Sound, near to the artist’s home and art gallery. The charming scene, with its close attention to detail, is a fine example of her signature style, which is achieved by combining pen and ink drawing with watercolour.
