Peterson’s sundrenched painting Old House, Bursa, Turkey, demonstrates her dexterity with both watercolor and gouache, using each to her advantage to render the scene with passages of thick and thin pigment. There is a sense of rhythm throughout the composition, enhanced by the addition of charcoal to delineate various forms, even the shadows and sunlight dappling the ground. The painting features the distinctive Green Tomb of Bursa in the right distance and was likely done around 1924, as a very similar composition in the Ehrich Galleries show sold to and remains in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum.
