Anthony Avery
British Impressionist Watercolor of a Female Silhouette in Sunlit Doorway

About the Item

Title: British Impressionist Watercolor of a Female Silhouette in Sunlit Doorway By Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023) Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed Dimensions: 15 x 11.25 inches (Height x Width) Condition: Good, with some minor signs of aging. Provenance: From a large collection of this artists work, held in England. Description: This evocative watercolor by Anthony Avery (1946-2023) captures the silhouette of a figure standing in a doorway, framed by dramatic light and shadow. The interplay of bold, angular lines and soft washes of color creates a striking contrast, emphasizing the figure’s introspective pose against the brightness beyond the doorway. The muted palette of purples, ochres, and browns enhances the moodiness and intimacy of the scene, evoking a sense of solitude and reflection. Avery’s Impressionist approach is evident in his fluid brushstrokes and mastery of light, which give the composition depth and emotional resonance. The simplicity of the setting allows the viewer to focus on the play of light and the quiet narrative suggested by the figure’s posture. Anthony Avery’s works are celebrated for their ability to convey emotion and atmosphere, and this piece is a testament to his artistic skill and sensitivity.
