Little Milton, near Garsington
Painted while Spencer was sharing lodgings at the Plough Inn, Little Milton, Oxfordshire with his friend and fellow painter, Sydney Carline. This unassuming village landscape contains several of Spencer's signature motifs: a barrier cuts across the foreground; the Cotswold dry stone wall is beautifully observed, as is the distant farmhouse with its dovecote; jaunty chickens enliven the yard.
