Helen Sutherland kept a record of the wine and plants she bought, but not of the paintings in her collection which was broken up after her death. As a result, it is difficult to know exactly what she owned. One of the artists she helped (whose work she did buy) was David Jones (1895-1974), also a modernist poet admired by WH Auden and TS Eliot. This is The Chapel in the Park 1932, Tate) with a view from the room that Helen Sutherland gave him, one of his delicate , ethereal and complex watercolours. More examples of this overlooked artist's work can be seen in Kettle's Yard.
