Barns-Graham was a senior figure in British Modernism. Regarded as a painter, her prints, especially monotypes from the 1940s/50s, are less known. This very rare and important monotype from this period shows the artist’s consummate skill as a draughtswoman.

The view is from the artist's studio at her home 'The Gap' in St Ives. A similar pen and ink drawing by the artist, 'St Ives from The Gap', dated 1950, is held in the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust's collection, object number BGT6739.
