Over more than five decades, British artist and fashion designer Barbara Baker amassed a significant volume of works on paper including abstract landscapes of England, Scotland, Wales and France; still life paintings; portraits; life studies, and fashion drawings in watercolour, charcoal, graphite, and pastel.

“By far the most impressive pictures are the portraits, which have strength whatever the medium or tint of heavy paper. They have strength of character so that one feels that one actually knows the models.” – John Robert-Blunn
