Epping Forest,
In London, Epstein was involved with a bohemian and artistic crowd reflected in his work. His sculpture is distinguished by its unflinching realism – a style which attracted a great deal of controversy for its departure from conventions of classical sculpture. Epstein is said to have worked to his dying day on 21 August 1959. His work is displayed all over the world and helped forge the path for younger generations of sculptors, in particular Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.

The ancient woodland of Epping Forest in Essex, a large tract of uncultivated land to the north east of London, had long held a fascination for Epstein. Since 1922 he had rented a number of properties in the area, as a retreat from the bustle and diversions of London. Epping Forest was completed during a frenetic summer of painting in 1933 in which Epstein completed nearly a hundred watercolours.
