Sir Peter Scott’s wife, Philippa was born in Bloemfontein South Africa. During the couple’s trip to South Africa in 1962 they visited Phillipa’s childhood home and Scott writes in his diary: ‘It looks out towards the mountain of Thaba Nchu ten miles away across rolling farm lands’ (P.Scott, op. cit p. 197). With Thaba Nchu in the distance, the work was probably painted close to Philippa Scott’s childhood home.
