Mr. MacGregor's Garden c. 1940

"Mr. MacGregor's Garden," a woodcut print created by Dorothy Layng McEntee around 1940, depicts a simple rural scene. The black and white composition features a figure tending to a garden in the foreground, with a small house and a tall, slender tree set against a background of sky and foliage. McEntee, a prolific artist known for her woodcuts, often captured the essence of everyday life in her work. This particular piece captures the peaceful and tranquil nature of rural life, and it exemplifies McEntee's ability to translate a simple subject matter into a compelling visual narrative. The woodcut's stark contrasts and intricate details add to its artistic value, making it a notable example of her work.
