Dulwich Picture Gallery - The Guardian review

Laura Cumming, The Guardian, March 14, 2021

A red onion gleams like an ancient bronze orb. Peas are black pearls in their casket pods and four Ailsa Craig onions, arranged in a basket, resemble Russian minarets: a quartet of spires pointing up to the heavens.
