The Old House Malacca

A dark-roofed timber house with an open ground-floor gallery and a staircase leading to an upper story stands beside a body of water at dusk, framed by two tall palm trees leaning across the composition. The scene is rendered in deep blues and greens with touches of white and ochre in the architecture, giving the whole print a shadowed, nocturnal tone. A small dark boat or figure is visible on the water in the foreground. Woodblock print, "The Old House Malacca," by Elizabeth Keith, year unknown.
