Two Women Sitting in a Garden (1932)
A lovely watercolour by Eric Ravilious (1903-1942). Before the decade was out, he would be painting less tranquil scenes, having been appointed an Official War Artist in 1939. In common with several other appointees, World War II claimed his life and a great native talent was lost: Ravilious perished when he aircraft failed to return from a search and rescue mission in Iceland.
