Ragdale Hall 1931 - 1935

This etching by the British artist F. L. Griggs, created between 1931 and 1935, depicts Ragdale Hall, a grand Tudor-style mansion. Griggs was known for his detailed and atmospheric architectural drawings, and this piece is a testament to his skill. The print showcases the intricate details of the building's facade, including its timbered walls, multiple chimneys, and numerous windows. The figures in the foreground, walking past a graveyard, add a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. The use of fine lines and subtle shading evokes a sense of depth and realism, characteristic of Griggs's style.
