Farmyard at Old Buckhurst, Sussex

'Farmyard at Old Buckhurst, Sussex' has a freshness and immediacy that suggests it was made on the spot. A similar view of the same buildings from a slightly different angle is in the collection at Norwich Museum in Norfolk. The work is inscribed with the year '53 on the back suggesting it was made in 1853. Stark, originally from Norfolk, was no longer living in Sussex.
