In this painting Ginner's composition is dominated by the lush green landscape seen through the window. The small window, brightly-coloured curtains and comfy chair hint at the cottage of the title. Vincent van Gogh was the single most important influence on Ginner's work; perhaps this influence can be seen in his characteristic painting style, as in this work, where the paint has been applied in small, densely-worked touches. Ginner was born in France and settled in London in 1910 where he became a founder member of the Camden Town Group and a key member of the Fitzroy Street, London and Cumberland Market Groups. At the outbreak of the First World War he would eventually serve as a lieutenant for the Canadian War Records, and, in the Second World War he served again as an Official War Artist.
