Annie Rose Laing (1869-1946)Annie Rose Laing - Interior -  Richard Taylor Fine Art

Interior with Lady Reading.

This superb Scottish Edwardian Impressionist interior oil painting is by noted Scottish female artist Annie Rose Laing. Painted circa 1910, the composition is the interior of a room with a lady stood between a table and writing desk, reading a letter. The whole scene has multiple shades of blue - on the window drapes, tablecloth, writing desk  and the lady's dress. By contrast, splashes of red are on the tulips on the table, floor rugs and side of the writing desk.  In the foreground one can just see the edge of a frame of a picture on an easel and another small painting above the writing desk. On the near right is the edge of a thick green velvet curtain at the door. One has the sense of peeping into a private, intimate world. This is an excellent example of a Scottish female artist at her prime.
