The Domino, 1904
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Philip Wilson Steer that measures 78.74x58.42 cm and belongs to a private collection. The title of the artwork draws inspiration from "The Black Domino" a popular play performed at London's Adelphi Theatre during that time. In this intriguing portrait, we see a young woman holding a masque in her hand, dressed in an elegant black cloak known as a domino. The domino serves as her disguise, allowing her to conceal her true identity while attending a ball where she suspects her husband's infidelity. Steer's artistic style reflects his early studies in Paris and his involvement with the New English Art Club. He skillfully combines French Impressionism with English art traditions, resulting in this mesmerizing piece. The print captures the intricate details of Steer's brushstrokes and showcases the beauty of the woman's half-length portrait. Her hooded cape drapes gracefully around her shoulders, adding an air of mystery to the scene. This image transports us back to Edwardian times when masquerades were alluring events filled with intrigue and hidden identities. It reminds us of the power of disguise and how it can be used to navigate complex social situations. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this remarkable painting through their high-quality photo reproduction, allowing viewers today to appreciate Steer's mastery and delve into the fascinating world he created on canvas.
