Windmill (1935).
Watercolour and pencil.
Ravilious is often fascinated by the working landscape – the worker not being referenced directly, but rather through the tools and implements with which he works (see ‘Waterwheel’; ‘Chalk Paths’, etc.).
The shapes perfectly portray those of the Downs; the sky over the English Channel in the background a hovering complement to the shadows and undulations of the fields in the foreground.

Giclée Print; Limited Edition (1/850) on 310gsm thick, 100% cotton rag.
