Note du spécialiste

In August 1944 Sutherland and his wife went to Pembrokeshire, staying first with John Craxton and Lucien Freud at the Mariner's Arms in Haverfordwest, and then retreating to a cottage at Sandy Haven. This trip inspired a whole series of drawings and paintings based around a dried-out tree stump in a glowing, invented landscape. Within this series the artist explores the idea of giving the landscape forms a figurative significance, the landscape being a metaphor for the human, probably female, body.
