Item Description
An early 20th-century oil painting on canvas depicting a woman seated at a table, reading a letter with a glove in hand. The sitter’s thoughtful pose creates an intimate, contemplative mood within a quiet interior, layered with bold patterned textiles, vibrant artwork, and an African sculpture in the background. Decorative rhythm guides the eye across the composition, from the folds of the shirt to the sculptural forms of the hat, sculpture, and objects on the table. A restrained palette is heightened by accents of blue and red, and the luminous white of the shirt. The African sculpture and abstract artwork suggest an early modern sensibility, offering insight into the artistic world of the sitter.
Presented in a 19th-century oak frame, signed lower left, and of impressive scale, this rare and distinctive work combines a captivating portrait with a refined early modernist interior, offering strong decorative appeal and a glimpse into an introspective, cultured world.
