Mrs Mounter at the Breakfast Table
Caption from the museum |
---|
The subject of a number of portraits by Harold Gilman, Mrs Mounter lodged at the same address as the artist at 47 Maple Street, off Tottenham Court Road. In this painting her direct gaze and time-worn features, highlighted in warm tones and haloed tightly by an orange kerchief, draws the viewer in. The ordinary crockery on the table indicates the unceremonious sharing of breakfast across social classes and despite wartime shortages. |
