Note : "In the last decade of the artist's life, the Montagu Garden became one of his chief inspirations and the paintings form an important, sustained thematic legacy.He painted many portraits of the farm labourers and workers at Montagu....Krige turned to the tillers of the platteland in a similar way to artistic forebears such as Millet and Courbet who always stressed the dignity of peasants".BIBLIOGRAPHY: Fox, J.
