Graham Sutherland works on curtains for the Coventry Cathedral. Menton, date unknown

In his Menton studio, artist Graham Sutherland stands smoking a cigarette before the massive, multi-panelled cartoon for the Coventry Cathedral tapestry. The bold design features enormous, stylized feet with a small human figure standing between them and a dynamic painting of a horned animal. The space is filled with creative details, including a bird sculpture perched atop the artwork and a small, smoldering pile on the floor near an easel.
