Note: A fine early 'Whiteleaf' landscape painted soon after John and his brother Paul Nash had returned from the Trenches. These landscapes from the early 1920s evoke both melancholy and mystery. The brothers stayed at Whiteleaf in Buckinghamshire at the end of the war and worked closely together.
There is a later hillside painting to the reverse.
