Eric Ravilious ‘Westbury Horse’, watercolour, 1939.

This depicts the white horse at Westbury, Wiltshire, just below the Iron Age hillfort of Bratton Castle. It was one of a number of hill figures that Ravilious was working on for a children’s book, which sadly never came to be (you can read more on the subject at the Ravilious Hill Figure Collection page).

Eric Ravilious (22 July 1903 – 2 September 1942) was an exceptional watercolourist, wood engraver and designer. He grew up in the shadow of the Sussex Downs in the coastal town of Eastbourne, the surrounding landscape of which heavily influenced many of his best known works. His instantly recognisable style, palette and choice of subject have an almost universal appeal, a blend which has increased in popularity with the passing of time, particularly in the first two decades of the 21st century.
