{"product_id":"tennis-triptych-left-wing-eric-ravilious","title":"Tennis (triptych, left wing) - Eric Ravilious","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined watercolour study by Eric Ravilious, depicting a serene tennis court scene with characteristic linear precision and a muted, atmospheric palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEric Ravilious produced this work as part of a decorative triptych commissioned for the Morley College mural project in London. The composition displays the artist's characteristic approach to spatial arrangement, where clear, linear forms define the figures and the surrounding environment. The scene captures a quiet moment on a tennis court, with one figure in motion and another standing near an open gate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRavilious employs a muted colour palette, dominated by earthy tones and soft greens, which creates a sense of stillness. The treatment of the trees and the wire fencing demonstrates his interest in pattern and structure, often seen in his wood engravings and lithographic work. The figures are rendered with a deliberate simplicity, their forms echoing the geometry of the court lines and the surrounding foliage. This work reflects the interwar period in Britain, where artists often explored themes of leisure and domesticity through a modern, yet restrained, aesthetic lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of watercolour allows for a transparency that softens the rigid lines of the court and the fencing. By focusing on the interplay between the human form and the constructed space, Ravilious invites the viewer to observe the scene as a carefully balanced arrangement of shapes and shadows. The work remains a fine example of his ability to combine decorative sensibilities with a clear, observational style. It avoids excessive detail, preferring instead to focus on the rhythm of the composition and the specific quality of light present in the scene. This print offers a glimpse into the artist's unique vision, where the mundane activities of daily life are elevated through precise draughtsmanship and a thoughtful application of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/female-model-vilhelm-lundstrom-2\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFemale Model - Vilhelm Lundstrøm — Vilhelm Lundstrøm\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/le-baiser-auguste-rodin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLe Baiser - Auguste Rodin — Auguste Rodin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Eric Ravilious","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58492557656399,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58492589375823,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58492589408591,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58492589441359,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58492589474127,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58492589506895,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58492589539663,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58492589572431,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58492589605199,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58492589637967,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58492589670735,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58492589703503,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Tennis-triptych-left-wing-_Poster_CompositorV1_1786405714160.jpg?v=1786942656","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/tennis-triptych-left-wing-eric-ravilious","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
