Chantrey Purchase from the artist 1940.
Exh:
(?) George Bissill, R. O. Dunlop, Basil Jonzen, Rowland Suddaby, Redfern Gallery, May–June 1939 (4), as ‘Layton’; C.A.S. tour, British Painting Today, 1940 (43); R.A., 1944 (26).
According to the artist, ‘the Landscape (Layton) was painted in 1935 from several sketches, so doesn't resemble any actual place. The sketches I made several miles from Andover, Hampshire, near a farm owned by a man named Layton, so that's how the Landscape got its name Layton’ (letter of 18 January 1960).
