Eric Ravilious Prints: ‘Two Women in a Garden’. This painting depicts a cool, quiet afternoon in the garden of Brick House, Great Bardfield, featuring Tirzah Garwood (married to Eric Ravilious) and Charlotte Bawden (married to Edward Bawden), when both couples were sharing the house. Eric Ravilious (22 July 1903 – 2 September 1942) was an exceptional watercolourist, wood engraver and designer. He grew up in the shadow of the Sussex Downs in the coastal town of Eastbourne, the surrounding landscape of which heavily influenced many of his best known works. His instantly recognisable style, palette and choice of subject have an almost universal appeal, a blend which has increased in popularity with the passing of time
