    Inscribed with titled and dated 1949-1955 on the original paper mount
    Pencil on squared paper
    9 1/8 x 15 2/8 in. (23.5 x 39 cm).

    Ceres, according to Ancient Roman myth,  was the goddess of agriculture, grain crops, fertility and motherly relationships.  Although dated 1949-1955 this composition is closely related to Newland's large Decoration for the central panel of triptych, her principal work undertaken during her scholarship at The British School at Rome between 1938 and 1939. 

    Stylistially the  composition shows elements of her training at the Byam Shaw School, (1936-39, under Ernest Jackson), combined with the influence of her time spent at The British School at Rome ( 1938/39 and 1946), and  her deep admiration for the work of Andrea Mantegna.

    Dear Mr Shaw
    I have been meaning to write to you for some time to say that I
    eventually got a job here at the Civil Defence Camouflage
    Establishment and am now finding the work of everything most
    interesting and very glad I accepted it.  ….
    March 30th to Shaw
    I am so awfully pleased to have this job and to be able to pull my
    weight in some small way,…
