About the work

John Northcote Nash, the younger brother of the artist Paul Nash, spent much of his life in Essex, and the county's landscapes recur throughout his paintings, drawings and engravings. An Official War Artist during the First World War, Nash developed a primitivising style which was refined in the 1920s by the French-influenced ideas of Roger Fry and the Bloomsbury Group. This watercolour of an Essex farm shows the influence of his brother's work and typifies the evocative landscape style he developed in the interwar years.
