A delightful watercolour painted by Ravilious in the June of 1932, in preparation for his exhibition at the Zwemmer gallery in London. The pond itself is one of the many locations around Great Bardfield, Essex, that Ravilious captured alongside his close friend Edward Bawden.
Eric Ravilious (22 July 1903 – 2 September 1942) was an exceptional watercolourist, wood engraver and designer. He grew up in the shadow of the Sussex Downs in the coastal town of Eastbourne, the surrounding landscape of which heavily influenced many of his best known works. His instantly recognisable style, palette and choice of subject have an almost universal appeal, a blend which has increased in popularity with the passing of time.
