Edward Seago, R.W.S., R.B.A. (1910-1974)

A relatively early example of Edward Seago's work, executed in 1936, this painting clearly shows the influence of Sir Alfred Munnings on Seago's technique and choice of composition in his early years as a painter. Seago and the poet laureate John Masefield collaborated on a number of publications in the 1930s, including The Country Scene, a sumptuous volume of Masefield's poetry illustrated with beautiful paintings by Seago such as the work offered here.
