<p>De Wint evolved a loose, free style of painting but never abandoned his restricted range of colours. He often used a warm range of browns and greens possibly deriving from Thomas Girtin’s later works. He varied this with touches of unmixed red or blue.</p><p>Unlike Cox, De Wint did not make the study of climate and atmospherics a priority. His chief concern remained the creation of subtle and beautifully articulated compositions – like this work – based in stretches of open or wooded country, often in Lincolnshire.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2004</em></p>
