In this painting I wanted to evoke a fin-de-siècle mood. A willowy red haired lady in an elegant black dress creates a dramatic figure within a golden Parisian style interior. She reminds me of a character in a Henry James novel, or many of John Singer Sargent's portrait subjects...a beautiful young woman with a hint of mystery and turbulence beneath her composed exterior. While painted with loose, impressionistic brushstrokes, I enjoyed evoking details such as the rope of pearls and the charming cabriole leg salon chair in the background.
This is a print of my original painting "Portrait of an Edwardian Lady" which was created in oil on canvas. The original painting has been sold. There is a slight luster to the surface of the print which resembles the sheen of an oil painting. This print is made to order.
"Portrait of an Edwardian Lady", 10"x8", Epson UltraChrome water based HDR giclée print on heavyweight archival luster paper. This is a slightly glossy surface providing a highly saturated look and maximum ink coverage.
