Notes
Krige love the Cape countryside and spent a lot of time visiting the quaint little villages of the Little Karoo. Barrydale, with its church steeple, nagmaal houses with corrugated iron roofs, and patchwork of vineyards and orchards was particularly picturesque. In fact, he was so drawn to this area that he eventually returned and made his home in Montagu. Aged 19, Krige would have completed his studies at the Michaelis School of Fine Art and this early work demonstrates his developing style and gives a delightful foretaste of what was to follow.
