This energetic, heavily worked drawing belongs to a summer visit to Cologne du Gers, in the Gers Departement not far from the Pyrenees where Eardley worked with Dorothy Steel in 1951. The pantile roofs are typical of the vernacular building of the area. Emotionally and stylistically it surely owes much to Van Gogh, whose major touring exhibition Joan would have seen at Kelvingrove in 1948. It belongs with the drawings she made in France and Italy on her travels but has a new maturity and ambition which looks forward to her expressionist engagement with the landscape already begun in Catterline the year before. 10
