By the late 1920s Nash had become close friends with his fellow artist Edward Burra, one that had been strengthened by Nash living on the south coast at Dymchurch, not far from Burra at Rye. The present sketch is strong evidence of Nash's sense of the absurd and was swiftly executed at the end of this brief postcard to Burra.
