A quintessential subject of the British Aesthetic period, when Japanese influence transformed decorative painting through Whistler, Tissot, and the Liberty \u0026amp; Co. interior. The narrow vertical format (15 × 36 in.) follows the Japanese kakemono hanging-scroll proportion that European artists adopted from imported woodblock prints; panels of this format were used for narrow architectural walls, overdoors, and decorative-screen elements. Verso bears the canvas stamp of G. Rowney \u0026amp; Co., London W., Quality A — premium prepared linen from the principal British artists' supplier of the period. Signature partially legible at lower edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnframed. Condition: Painted surface stable with colors holding well and subject reading clearly.
