Oil on panel, 26.5 by 37 cm (10 ¼ by 14 ½ ins)

Richard Carline was strongly linked to the artistic circle around Stanley Spencer and Henry Lamb in the 1920s, his family home in Hampstead being a magnet for like-minded painters of the era. He was elected to the London Group in 1920 having achieved notable success as a War artist, which, alongside his older brother Sydney, is notable for compositions that are executed from an aerial viewpoint. This attractive landscape dates from his most productive period, its palette and composition particularly reminiscent of the work Henry Lamb created around the same time.
