Additional Information

Morris was a keen gardener, and a large section of the garden at the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing was used by him to grow fruit and vegetables for his student during wartime. He painted many pictures of the garden’s produce at that time, to celebrate the abundance of nature during times of austerity. The cook Elizabeth David bought this painting in 1953, and used it several times to accompany her writing and recipes.
