In this captivating oil-on-canvas artwork, Evelyn Dunbar transports us to an early winter’s evening in Monmouthshire. The scene unfolds under a foggy light, where a weak sun struggles through a cream and grey sky. Gathered in the fields are women—members of the Land Army—engaged in the laborious task of picking sprouts.

The context of war permeates the canvas. Britain, under constant threat of enemy invasion, finds echoes of military order and discipline in the regimented rows of sprouts, the meticulously pruned fruit trees, and the serrated greenhouses. Despite the backbreaking work, there is an air of confident diligence—a spirit befitting those early war years.

The painting captures both the toil and the resilience of those who tended the land during challenging times. Evelyn Dunbar’s skillful brushwork invites us to appreciate the beauty within the ordinary, making this print a compelling testament to human endeavor.
