Within an oak glazed frame, the reverse with the gallerists label of H. & S. Oldfield, 19 Goodwin Street, Bradford.
Wood on the Downs 1929–30 portrays Ivinghoe Beacon, in the Chiltern Hills. Nash described it as ‘an enchanted place in the hills, girdled by wild beech woods dense and lonely places where you might meet anything from a polecat to a dryad. All the knolls and downs go rolling about against the sky with planes of pale coloured fields stretching out below.’ Ivinghoe Beacon is the site of an Iron Age fort showing Nash’s interest in the ancient history of the Chilterns.
The original oil painting forms part of the collecion of the Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museum, acquired in 1960 with income from the Murray Fund.
