Cicely Mary Barker The Lord of Rushie River 1927
“In The Lord of Rushie River Cicely creates a timeless, rustic world in which the child, Susan, is so much a part of the countryside in which she lives that she can understand the swans who live alongside her on the river. The swans, the ducks and the riverbank are all convincingly and endearingly drawn- from life- with characteristic ink outlines and pastel washes and are highly reminiscent of the Sussex countryside Cicely loved so much.” Cicely Mary Barker and her Art by Jane Laing.
