| Gallery label | This pastoral scene is crowded with flicks, dots and cross-hatching, revealing Ravilious’s love of decorative pattern and mark-making in wood. He used a range of engraving tools, often fashioned from old keys and metal rods stuck into champagne-cork handles. Ravilious studied under Paul Nash at the Royal College of Art, and became one of the foremost wood engravers between the wars.(August 2019) |
