Margaret WardLovely American Post Impressionist Oil Painting - A Young Girl Pouring Tea, 19561956
1956
About the Item
This is not your typical child’s portrait. Young Ellen Warfield is steadily pouring tea or coffee in a proper manner that certainly conforms to societal expectations of the 1950’s.
The oil on canvas portrait is identified on the reverse as to the sitter, Ellen Warfield, her age - about 9, place - New Canaan, Connecticut and date 1956. The young Ellen is dressed in her casual finest with a lovely hat as well. Her sweet determination shows as she masters the proper manners of the day. Behind her hangs a family portrait from the distant past that looks down approvingly. The blue and white china is rendered well against the clean and vaguely modernist colors of the green velvet sofa and her pink blouse. Ellen’s straight blond hair and pure complexion add to the simple quality of the composition.
The painting alone measures 22” x 28” and is signed very discreetly in the lower right “Margaret Ward”. The painting is in very good condition with clean bright colors and a tight, lightly varnished surface to the canvas. The frame is of the period and of light colors, suggesting a nod to modern times and color choices. It too is in good vintage condition with overall measurements 25” x 33”. The work is ready to hang in your location of choice to fully enjoy.
This stylish portrait reminds one of a simpler time and harks back to the proper manners and attitudes that old New England families sought to preserve at the time.
