Ultimate Sprout Picking, Monmouthshire By Evelyn Dunbar Kit [s0a24j9y]

The foggy light of an early winter’s evening; a weak sun in a cream and grey sky, and a gathering of women – members of the Land Army – picking sprouts in Monmouthshire.

Painted whilst Britain was at war, in constant threat of enemy invasion, the regimented rows of sprouts, the carefully pruned fruit trees and serrated greenhouses are all reminiscent of army order and discipline. And whilst the work is no doubt backbreaking, there is an attitude of confident diligence appropriate to the times, early in the war as it was, in this neat and captivating print.  Print from oil on canvas.
