Whiteleaf Cross has stood above Princes Risborough for several centuries dominating the local landscape, becoming a cultural focus associated with many aspects of local life.
Nash was fascinated by the ancient symbolism and the layers of history represented by the cross. Whiteleaf was a place to which Paul and his wife Margaret returned on many occasions. This watercolour captures much of his poetic and personal attachment to the landscape.
