Barrydale, with its church steeple, nagmaal houses with corrugated iron roofs, and patchwork of vineyards and orchards was particularly picturesque. In fact, he was so drawn to this area that he eventually returned and made his home in nearby Montagu. Aged 19, Krige would have completed his studies at the Michaelis School of Fine Art and this early work demonstrates his developing style and gives a delightful foretaste of what was to follow. 509 510 PROPERTY FROM THE RODWELL HOUSE COLLECTION | LOTS 495-510 216
