This painting really attracted my attention when I visited the Enid Lawson Gallery, and I felt that it related to myn project quite well so far.
The painting is of a woman sitting on the side of a chair. The lighting is extremely dim, with a deep shade of red in the background. The woman is sitting in quite an open position holding a glass of wine. The dress she is wearing is also quite revealing, and the lighting helps to emphasise her body. The whole atmosphere is extremely seductive, and it gives the impression that women are strongly aware of how to use their body in a way to entice the viewers. I also find that there is an air of mystery in this painting, especially how the identity of the woman is hidden. It is also makes the viewer question what she is doing, or who she is perhaps waiting for. Why else would she be dressed in this way, positioned on a bed with a glass of wine? Could she simply just be enjoying a relaxed night in alone? The artist makes the viewers question these things.
