He was forced to leave Cyprus in 1956.This is the second of a pair of watercolours painted by G.H. Gray depicting the view from the mountain peak of Olympus on the Troodos mountain range. The tree in the foreground with its branches pointing to the ground is most characteristic of the flora of Troodos highlands.
