Notes: PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE MRS S.J. BERWIN
The present work was painted circa 1917, whilst Bevan was at Lytchetts. French Nut Tree Farm was located in the Rosemary Lane area of Devon. We are grateful to Dr Wendy Baron and Patrick Baty for their kind assistance with the cataloguing of this lot.
