About the Item

A lone figure stands in a spacious interior, where numerous paintings adorn the walls and piles of books line the skirting. Peczely painted several similar scenes of solitary figures dwarfed amidst collections of art, antiques, and books, evidently finding the character of the collector to be a stimulating subject matter with rich compositional and narrative possibilities. What is most compelling about the painting, however, is Peczely's mastery of light, which streams in through an open window to illuminate a pile of books in the otherwise dark interior. Signed to the lower right. Well presented in a vintage swept frame. On board.

Mother and Child
Located in Pasadena, CA
Provenance Acquired by the artist directly from the artist Artist Statement “My painting, Mother and Child, is a depiction of my daughter and I, inspired by whimsical themes we both enjoy. Studying Pre-Raphaelite paintings, Mother and Child evokes rich Roman Catholic iconography. Poland has this imagery everywhere, as it is home to Our Lady of Czensztochowa. As I am Polish, I draw heavy affection for this imagery. While creating this work I kept this Agatha Christie quote in mind: ‘A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world, it knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.’ In this painting I’ve chosen to portray us outdoors in a dreamlike setting, using vivid colors, lighting and environment. I’ve applied gold and pearlescent paint in the foundation layers which peek through at times. In choosing a pose—her hands touching my face, I hope the viewer sees the love and bond that we share.” —Natalia Fabia...
