Provenance
Private collection, UK.

Following the First World War, Valerius de Saedeleer joined fellow Flemish artists such as George Minne, Gustave van de Woestyne and Leon De Smet in hastening to the United Kingdom. In Wales de Saedeleer tried to penetrate the secrets of the new landscape; gradually his art moved towards a direction which was concerned with capturing both the external beauty and the very soul of the landscape. In the present work we see the arabasque lines and modest, thinly applied pigments that were characteristic of his work from around 1917.
