Timanfaya Mt Fuego by Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, 1989, acrylic on paper 14 x 19½in (36 x 49.5cm), £7000.
An acrylic on paper of Timanfaya, the only active volcano on the Canary Island of Lanzarote, by British artist Wilhelmina Barns-Graham (1912- 2004), is one of the highlights of the exhibition A Distant Isle.
It brings a collection of pictures the painter completed over five years from her estate. Held 30 years after Barns-Graham’s first visit to the popular holiday destination, this show is the first to focus solely on her late series of topographical and geological studies of the island.
