Signed l.r.: G.Clausen

Watercolour, 24 by 33 cm (9 1/2 by 13 ins)

Clausen wrote in 1930: “I think there is nothing so beautiful as a clean tint in watercolour that is exactly right...the quality of the colour has something of the spontaneity and effortless rightness that one finds in nature itself - a quality that is always lost by labouring and stippling a drawing.” (quoted in McKonkey, Sir George Clausen, exhibition catalogue (Bradford Art Gallery, 1980), p.97).
