The Obelisk at Arques, Eaulne Valley, Dieppe

In August 1913, Sickert wrote to Miss Sands of 'An obelisk on rising ground. I am looking down on it and the plain rises above the whole length of the obelisk with a river and willows'. The obelisk was the subject of a number of canvases painted in 1913 and again in the summer of 1914.
