A quiet watercolour from 1932 shows a violin on a table. David Jones painted it when he was shifting from engraving to painting and writing. The calm surface hides a swirl of pale colour and a meaning deeper than the subject itself. Jones kept this piece close—it became his favourite. Check out more of Jones’ work at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
