Why Bid on ‘A Rainy Day in Broadway Village’ by Tushar Sabale.
An opportunity to own a beautiful original oil painting celebrating one of England’s most picturesque and historically significant villages, while supporting the preservation of its remarkable artistic heritage.
Broadway, in the heart of the Cotswolds, has inspired generations of artists and was once home to a celebrated colony of painters and writers, including John Singer Sargent, Francis Davis Millet and Alfred Parsons.
Through expressive impressionistic brushwork, Tushar Sabale captures the timeless charm of Broadway on a rainy evening. The warm glow of honey-coloured cottages, shimmering reflections on rain-soaked streets and the nostalgic presence of a vintage car create a captivating sense of atmosphere and place.
This painting is more than a depiction of a village; it is a celebration of its artistic heritage, character and enduring appeal.
By bidding, you will not only have the opportunity to acquire a unique original artwork but also contribute towards fundraising for Broadway Museum and Art Gallery, helping to preserve and share the village’s extraordinary history and artistic legacy for future generations.
A painting to treasure, a heritage to preserve and a wonderful cause to support. Your bid can make a difference!

ABOUT THE MUSEUM:
Broadway Museum & Art Gallery was established with the generous support and backing of H.W.Keil and Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. It is housed in a beautiful 17th Century building adapted over the centuries and is one of a very few buildings in Broadway from that era open to the public.
Broadway Museum & Art Gallery is run by a team of trustees, staff and volunteers.
The museum has a dedicated section for the Broadway Colony of Artists which was an influential group of British, American and European artists, writers and other creative figures who gathered in the Cotswold village of Broadway, Worcestershire, during the late 19th century, particularly between 1885 and 1889.
Although the colony lasted only around five years as a concentrated artistic community, its influence remains part of Broadway’s identity. It brought together artists from different countries, encouraged the exchange of ideas and celebrated painting from direct observation of nature and everyday life.
One of the most important works associated with the colony is Sargent’s celebrated Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose (1885–86).
He painted it in the gardens of Farnham House and Russell House in Broadway, depicting two young girls lighting Japanese lanterns among flowers at dusk. It is now in the collection of Tate Britain.
The legacy continues through the Broadway Museum and Art Gallery, which explores this remarkable chapter in British artistic history.
Tushar Sabale is one of the Board Directors and Trustees of the Broadway Museum and Art Gallery. He has much more connection with Broadway and is also the Ambassador for the Broadway Arts festival.
“Broadway has long been a source of inspiration for artists. In the late 19th century, it became home to an Anglo-American colony of painters and writers, including John Singer Sargent, Francis Davis Millet and Alfred Parsons. More than a century later, its timeless architecture, atmospheric streets and changing light continue to inspire artists. This painting is a personal interpretation of a village whose artistic spirit remains very much alive.”
