Provenance: The Artist's Family

The Deluge was Winifred Knights’ winning entry for the Prix de Rome in 1920. On this full-size cartoon, the lines are heavily scored into the tracing paper so that the outline could be transferred onto the same size canvas – now one of the prize possessions of Tate Britain.
