Description: Click an Image to See it Full-size Details Payment Shipping Terms of Sale View in Room Description An accomplished oil scene by well listed artist Berthold Genzmer. Two women sit by the lit hearth in a scullery interior; they darn garments as light falls through the window. The whole scene gravitates towards the warmth of the fire, where the blazing flames contrast the cool tones of the rest of the room. The two women are captured with an astute realness which animates the scene. The younger woman stares into the fire as if deep in thought, the dreamy expression on her face is slightly illuminated hearth. In contrast, the older women looks down to her needlework, her silhouette outlines by the harsher light from the window. The style of the scene shows inspiration from the Barbizon school which was defined by a fascination with capturing the quotidian duties of the working class. Through this piece we are invited into the the private quarters of women who most likely work in service, and shown the quiet reality of their moments of stillness. However, what most likens the piece to those of the Barbizon school and early impressionist works is the focus on changing light. From the window, to the hearth, to the darkest corners of the room, the artist shows the viewer how light influences the atmosphere in every part of the composition. Signed to the lower right.

Sulis Fine Art traces its origins back four generations. Benjamin Diamond opened a picture framing factory in Midtown Manhattan in the early 20th century. Originally known as Royal Art, the business worked closely with artists and museum institutions, developing a reputation for creating fine frames. Royal Art passed through the family and eventually evolved into Sulis, now run by Benjamin's grandson Bill, and his son Dan. Based in the South West of England, we source art from across the British Isles and ship worldwide. We handpick all our stock and we've grown into a ten-strong team of art historians, photographers, restorers, studio technicians and despatchers. We relocated to our Corsham studio in early 2020, leaving behind our small garden workshops in Bradford-on-Avon that had been our base for several successful years. Now located on the edge of the Cotswolds, our current home allows the team to work alongside our large catalogue of artworks, allowing us to provide you with fast global shipping and top-notch customer service. We are always striving to connect people with the art they love. Each week we add new artworks to our extensive catalogue, across all styles, subjects, colours and periods. At the heart of Sulis, we rescue and restore lost and forgotten works, giving you the opportunity to find unique pieces and discover art in a new and different way. View All Artworks View More -->
