This work was created during Goldschmidt's years in England. Following a meeting with Oskar Kokoschka in 1941, she resumed painting; she also met and had an important friendship with installation artist Kurt Schwitters and after settling in the Lake District, became part of his emigre circle. Goldschmidt declared herself moved by the 'grandeur of the scenery' in this famously poetic landscape and shows a figure similarly dwarfed by its majesty. This pastel was part of a body of work carried out during her seven-year stay in the area, which culminated in a solo exhibition in Manchester in 1949, shortly before she returned to settle in Austria the following year.
