About the piece

Painted in 1894 by Charles Conner, 'A California Back Yard' offers a contemplative look at a quiet rural corner. The work is defined by its thick, visible brushwork and a muted palette of browns and grays, characteristic of late 19th-century American Impressionism, bringing a sense of grounded history to any space.
