Lot Essay

The present landscape, which must date to c. 1908, can be placed in the sequence of works produced at East’s Cotswold studio at Upper Swell, on the outskirts of Stow-on-the-Wold. Its configuration of stone walls and barns makes it directly comparable to the more finished On the Tewkesbury Road (Detroit Institute of Arts). KMc.
