In this picture the eye travels unimpeded through the first room to the fireplace in the second, which is the real point of focus. had it been elsewhere, the picture would have lacked unity, or, as painters say, would have failed to come together. Date: circa 1926

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oil painting, titled 'Blue Chaise Longe,' showcases the timeless allure of grand interiors and the masterful use of light by artist March of the Women Collection, circa 1926. The Interior genre, pioneered by Dutch painters in the seventeenth century, has long captivated artists and viewers alike with its intricate depictions of domestic spaces. In this piece, the artist invites us to explore the first room, our gaze effortlessly drawn to the inviting blue chaise longue in the foreground. As we traverse the room, our eyes are guided towards the fireplace in the adjacent space. The strategic placement of the fireplace serves as the picture's focal point, ensuring a sense of unity and cohesion within the composition. Had the fireplace been situated elsewhere, the painting would have lacked the harmony and balance that makes this work truly come together. The variations of light in the painting are a testament to the artist's skill, as they illuminate the rich textures and colors of the furnishings and decor. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the scene, transporting us into the heart of this elegant and inviting interior. The Blue Chaise Longe is a captivating example of the enduring appeal of Interior paintings and the masterful artistry of the artist, March of the Women Collection. This work of art invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty and sophistication of a bygone era.
