The pool at Dedham Mill was a favourite subject for Munnings, who described 'its lush landscape' as comparable 'with anything of the kind in the world.' (A.J. Munnings, The Second Burst, London, 1951, p. 157). Fluid, plein-air sketches, such as this and an almost identical painting sold at Sotheby's on 9 April 1999, were painted by Munnings purely for his own enjoyment and reflect his passion for the river landscape.
