This painting belonged to Patience Tennent, the artist’s niece.
View of foothills of the Massif des Maures and the cultivated farmlands inland from the coast.
The touches of pink and white paint and the lines of cultivated land refer back to earlier paintings such as Untitled [Stoke, Nelson] [BC013] and Untitled [Rural Scene] [BC125] from the early 1920s.
