The Inn of Will by Francis Hopkinson Smith

Francis Hopkinson Smith invites us into a sun-drenched courtyard where vibrant red and orange flowers explode against the rustic timber framing of a charming old inn. Figures in period dress sit at tables in the distance, enjoying a lazy afternoon under the dappled shade of the trees. As a master of watercolor, Smith uses loose, expressive washes to give the scene a dreamy, nostalgic quality, perfectly capturing the quiet beauty of historic architecture and garden life that he was so famous for documenting.
