Cranmere Pool, Dartmoor
Representing a remote body of water in the moorlands, this piece depicts Cranmere Pool. A small landmark in the large northern half of the Dartmoor wilderness of Devon, England, the pool is depicted by Widgery without sparing the viewer from the desolation of the bogs and marshes Dartmoor itself offers.
