About the Item

This intimate oil portrait evokes the quiet introspection characteristic of post-war domestic life, drawing clear inspiration from the Charleston house and the aesthetic sensibilities of the Bloomsbury Group. The subject, artist Pauline Plummer, is adorned with a vivid green scarf, and it stands out as the focal point against a backdrop of subdued, earth-toned hues. The scarf offers a singular burst of colour - a lively contrast that enlivens the otherwise muted palette and lends a subtle sense of individuality and defiance. Rendered in soft, fluid brushwork, the painting echoes the Arts and Crafts ethos of hand-crafted simplicity and lived-in beauty. The interior - featuring a mantelpiece, decorative ceramics, and layered textures - feels both curated and deeply personal, much like the rooms of Charleston itself. The overall effect is contemplative and unpretentious, capturing a moment of stillness imbued with quiet emotional depth. This portrait not only reflects the visual language of its time but also carries forward the Bloomsbury spirit of merging art, life, and domestic intimacy. Signed to the lower right corner. On canvas on stretchers.
