A study of the Cornish coast at dusk, this painting suggests a restful interlude in Knight’s frenetic life. Over the previous few years she had visited America at least twice (courting controversy with portraits of African-American nurse and civil rights activist Pearl Johnson), made a long, intensive study of ballet dancers and taken up etching. The following year she would set off on tour with Bertram Mills’ circus. No wonder this nocturne seems so serene.
