On Mother’s Lap

SOLD.

A tender and endearing figurative oil composition painted in 1974, that captures the simplicity and beauty found in the ordinary moments of life.

In this interior setting, a female figure is seated on a white chair, holding a baby in her arms that is resting on her. The table beside the woman as well as behind her is adorned with various objects, suggesting domesticity and everyday life. Across the room and against a backdrop of muted grey walls, a window gives a view of a striking blue sky.

The artist has highlighted the silhouettes of the figures and objects in a unique and striking blue outline, enhancing their distinct forms and inviting the viewer to explore their detail.

Upon close inspection of the painting, we can notice that the artist has layered rich and contrasting shades, demonstrating depth and visual interest to the painting.

The brushstrokes have been executed with remarkable confidence and expressiveness, capturing the fleeting moment of tenderness with a sense of spontaneity and authenticity.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver frame. The painting has some very light surface marks at the bottom right, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness. The frame has some scuffs.

Size: 54.5 x 47.5 cm (including frame)
