Eric Ravilious was a virtuoso at capturing everyday scenes and little details from English provincial life. This view (1935) is from the home he shared with Tirzah Garwood at Bank House, Castle Hedingham, Essex.

Road by an Airfield, Eric Ravilious, c.1942. The original artwork was sold at @ChristiesInc in 2008 and is now believed to be in a private collection. Like so much of his #WW2 output, it is an unfinished work and pencil outlines of planes can be seen behind the trees.

John Singer Sargent's 'Two Soldiers at Arras,' (1918) may have been a study for a painting he had in mind but never completed, or it may serve as an independent work of art - the soldier on the left has his hand over his eyes, signalling exhaustion.
