This sensuous interior scene by Robert Panitzsch (1879-1949) depicts a lady reading within a plush, yet homely, living room. It’s comfortably decorated with two large windows providing an abundance of light.

On the right, a large bouquet stands before a mirror that reflects a tall grandfather clock - its gentle tick providing the only sound. While on the left, a glass fruit bowl sits atop a small table with two books on the shelf underneath.

This is the artist’s home - on the far wall, we see four of his artworks. His distinctive pinks and greens make a welcome addition.

The painting is signed/dated and housed within its original gilt frame.
