WYNFORD DEWHURST (1864-1941)
POTTING SHED IN THE ARTIST'S GARDEN IN FRANCE
Signed, oil on canvas
77.5 x 57.5cm.
* Wynford Dewhurst returned to France each year to paint in the style of Monet, who became his principle mentor. For ten years, up to outbreak of First World War, he rented a house at Crozant in the Creuse Valley, where earlier, in 1889, Monet had painted a series of twenty-four pictures. This charming summer scene from his garden overlooking the gorge of La Creuse reflects the affection he held for the place.
