About the Item
Norman Basil Town (British, 1915 – 1987)
Washer woman
Pen and ink
8 x 6 in. (20 x 15 cm.)
Norman Basil Town (1905–1984) was a British artist known for his evocative religious and allegorical works, often rendered with a striking sense of drama and atmosphere. A graduate of the Royal College of Art, Town worked across painting and illustration, developing a style that combined classical composition with modernist sensitivity. His gouaches are especially prized for their intensity, delicate technique, and emotional depth. The Deposition is a powerful example of Town’s ability to distill spiritual themes into poignant, expressive imagery—an exquisite piece for collectors of mid-20th-century British art.
