Eric Ravilious (1903-1942) enjoyed a varied career. He was one of the leading decorative designers and wood-engravers of the 1930s, designing illustrations for the surface of pottery produced by the Wedgwood company and for books. His decorative and illustrative talents can be seen in his watercolours. In this example the pattern in the wallpapers, carpets and rugs is contrasted with the plainness of the bedspread. The curves of the iron bedstead and the wooden bedside chair also contrast with the linear form of the room.
