The Artist's Wife Lynda Reclining (1915). Derwent Lees (Australian, 1885-1931). Oil on board.

At the Slade Lees came into close contact with Augustus John and James Dickson Innes under whose strong influence this work of Lynda reclining with a book ready to read was painted. Lees produced small panel paintings of landscapes or figures in landscapes, swiftly drawn and quickly painted, on working trips to North Wales and the South of France.

Description

Full length impressionistic portrait of Lyndra Lees, wife of the artist, against an idealised landscape setting. She is shown seated on the banks of a small pool, surrounded by grasses and reeds, dipping one foot gently into the water. Behind her the ground rises steeply up to a dark hillside, silhouetted against the pale sky. The landscape is comprised of a patchwork of flat coloured planes, such as yellow, green and salmon pink. Daubs of paint in the hills and sky represent tonal variation in the landscape.
