Sutherland O.M., Graham (1903 – 1980) – ‘Wood End’ (T.28 / C.35).

Etching. 1929. Final state. Signed and editioned 21/60. Inscribed ‘Wood End’. Sometimes titled ‘Cottage in Dorset’, this is almost a pair to ‘Wood Interior’ (C.34). It is an exquisite print, but again without figures and the cottage seems abandoned. The hard, diagonal composition, leafless trees and dark wood create a sense of loss.
