Cathleen MannPortrait of a Ballerina - British 1930's Post Impressionist art oil painting1935
1935
About the Item
This charming British 1930's Post Impressionist portrait oil painting of a ballerina is by noted female artist Cathleen Sabine Mann. Ballerinas are a popular subject matter in art, conveying great poise, movement and elegance and of course made popular by Degas. A similar composition featuring the same ballerina, but holding a black cat, is held in the Glasgow Museums Resource Centre. In our lovely painting from 1935, the dark haired ballerina is at rest, perched on the edge of an armchair, her pink tutu spread out behind her. She is gazing demurely to her lower right, hands together on her knee. The blue background indicates she is in the same room as the Glasgow Resource Centre painting. The palette of pinks, blues and greens is lovely and the post Impressionist brushwork superb. This is a fantastic thirties ballerina portrait oil painting by a much loved female artist and an excellent example of her work.
Signed and dated 1935 lower right.
Provenance. A similar composition featuring the same ballerina is held in the Glasgow Museums Resource Centre. The figure is shown seated in front of the same blue panelling with a black cat on her lap.
Condition. Oil on canvas, 36 inches by 28 inches and in good condition.
Frame. Housed in a gilt frame, 43 inches by 35 inches, in good condition.
