"It is the only known work by Carrington that takes Bedford as its subject and is a rare depiction of her early life in the town.
Drawn in the linear style that she developed at the Slade, the detailed, atmospheric drawing depicts the town’s busy market at the turn of the century. Today, the market is still held in the same location." http://www.allartnews.com/dora-carrington-drawing-scooped-for-cecil-higgins-art-gallery-bedford-museum/
