Sunrise, Inverness Copse

Sunrise, Inverness Copse is a 1918 watercolour by English artist Paul Nash, which was produced during World War I.

[1] Born in Kensington, London, England, in 1889, Paul Nash served in the Artists Rifles following the outbreak of World War I.

[9][10] The drawing shows a muddy field of broken trees, lacking colour, with a lake and clouds in the background.

Richard Cork wrote that "there is still a hope, in this otherwise dejected study, that light and heat will one day nurture the graveyard of nature's forms".

[12] Later in 1918 Nash painted another picture of the same scene, titled We Are Making a New World, which was based on Sunrise, Inverness Copse.
