Pencil, watercolour, chalk & bodycolour on paper
55.5 x 37.5cm
John Creasey Museum, Salisbury
The work depicts two women attending Sunday Mass at Whitsun.
It was produced during or shortly after David Jones second illness.
The artist is concerned to capture the moment of Pentecost, with the dove resting between the women's head.
Jones idenitified with Hopkins (a poet like Jones) in a very personal way.
