1) The Minute Halt; 2) Inglesham Church and Rectory
Albert Richards, 1941
Albert Richards was, arguably, one of the most significant Official War Artists of WWII. These two paintings are closely linked to his development as a War Artist, recording his service with the Royal Engineers. They were never submitted to the WAAC, remaining instead with his family. The smaller panel, Inglesham Church and Rectory is a preliminary study for The Minute Halt and was given by Richards to his mother.
