About this work

This painting shows a quiet, open field with tall golden grass swaying in the wind. A few trees with yellow and green leaves stand scattered across the middle ground, while distant hills fade into soft blue and gray. The sky is pale and light, blending into the horizon. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a gentle, almost dreamy feel. The colors feel warm and natural, like a peaceful autumn day.

The story of this work

Overview

An oil landscape by Bertram Potter from around 1910 depicts an expansive countryside scene rendered with broad brushwork and sparse detail. A small number of sheep are visible within the open landscape. The painting sits on a commercially prepared canvas with a thin white ground and is housed in a handmade wooden frame featuring a modelled profile, attached directly without a rebate, likely by nailing, and lacking a backboard. Acquired by the V&A from Joan Duke in October 2006.
