Pond at Beslyns, Great Bardfield
Edward Bawden, 1955
© Estate of Edward Bawden
Bawden lived from 1932 in Great Bardfield, Essex. The artist creates a somewhat disquieting atmosphere through the prominence given to the gnarled tree trunk in the centre, dominating & dividing what would otherwise be a tranquil rural scene.
