N05286 CRAIG-Y-BERE 1939
Inscr. ‘Ian Strang 1939’ b.l.
Pencil, 14 7/8×21 (38×53).
Presented by the artist's mother-in-law Mrs R. M. Bateman 1941.
The artist's wife has recorded (letter of 5 December 1957) that the scene in Caernarvonshire, below the Drws-y-Coed pass at the head of the Nantlle valley. The drawing was made from the terrace of a deserted cottage named Clogwyn Brwnt (i.e. ‘harsh or cruel precipice’), which faces the crag. On the left lie the scattered cottages which formed part of a mining hamlet in the valley below. Craig-y-Bere means a precipitous crag, which in this case is composed of jagged points of rock thrust up from the scree face.
