'Footpath through a park.' (1920) Santiago Rusiรฑol almost completely concentrated on painting Spain's gardens and landscapes. Wherever he went, he recorded the domestic, at other times enigmatic, forms and rich vegetation of the shrubbery, orchards, and arboretums he discovered.

'Eel boats, Dinan,' (1928) is from the period when Christopher Nevinson was turning towards a realistic, traditionalist style of painting, departing from the abstract modernist works of his early career and WW1 period.
