Narrative

A Sargent-inflected portrait painted alla prima over three long sittings. The sitter is turned away from the viewer, caught in the moment before speech; the lilac of her sleeve is built up wet-into-wet against a warm bone-white ground. Emma left the background deliberately unresolved so the eye returns, again and again, to the temple and the ring finger.

  • Every work is signed by the artist and dated on the verso.
  • Each sale includes a signed certificate of authenticity and a studio provenance card recording title, year, medium, dimensions and exhibition history.
