Brick House, Great Bardfield Watercolour PC350, 1955
Purchased by the Fry Gallery in 1995 with grant aid from the National Art Collections Fund
To mark the arrival of the first of this winter’s snow in North West Essex, we are featuring this wintry scene from Great Bardfield in the 1950s. In this large watercolour, Edward Bawden captures two children, presumably his own, Richard and Joanna, playing on a toboggan at the back of their home in Great Bardfield.
