Say What You See – Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum – 07.10.2020
I see a painting of a woman, in a large black hat with a plume of feathers or fur.
She is wearing a black and grey coat which looks like it is made of a rich fabric, the collar and cuffs are grey fur.
She is seated in a mid backed chair with her right arm resting on the back, her left arm is on her lap.
She is gloved and her gloves are lighter in colour and look like suede or a textured fabric.
Her coat too looks textures like a Devore velvet.
She has a pale complexion with just a hint of pink on her lips and cheeks, her hair is barely visible, but has a reddish tint, there also appears to be an earring showing.
the fabric of the chair is richly decorated with black leaves on a player background.
The subject on her chair , is in front of an elaborately carved piece of furniture, possibly a sideboard or a side table upon which I see a blue and white vase, and , to the side, two pink roses. The taxable is either highly polished or glass as the roses are reflected in it.
The mirror on the wall reflects the room and I can see a painting with a label below itand a plush pink object. possibly a cushion or padded wall panel. The frame of the mirror is gold in colour and decorative.
The woman’s face is partly in shadow caused by her large hat, but her expression is neutral or distracted and she is looking to her right, away from the artist.
The painting itself is in an elaborate Fram and I think it is oil on canvas.
Assumptions
When I look closely at the piece I can see that much of what I have described is suggested rather than accurately detailed, the roses are broad strokes of colour, the gloves strokes of light and dark and even the face is a suggestion of features rather than finely painted.
I also assume that the woman is wealthy because of the clothes and setting, but it could easily just be a model in a hired room or a background from elsewhere.
Sculpture - Mother and Child?
The material for this sculpture doesn't look like marble, more like granite or sandstone, it has a soft warm colour and is textured.
I see a woman holding a child, the child looks young, under 18 months.
Both the child and adult are gazing at each other, their heads close together. The child is resting on the woman’s hip and her right hand is around the infant supporting it/
The child appears naked apart from a necklace or garland around its neck, the woman wears a similar one - its a geometric design,
Both the child and woman are holding one of the garlands between them.
the shapes of the faces, hands, hair and body are simplified and although the viewer sees a woman and child ,they are not natural, more stylised. The fingers and toes are blunt and squared off. The hair has a hard edge with some texture.
The woman is naked to the waist and we can see one nipple just visible above the crook of her left arm. from the waist down she is wrapped in a fabric which flows to her feet, on foot is visible and bare.
Behind the woman and child’s heads is a small arch depicting sunflowers.
