Artsonline has dated this Mid Century Studio Oil Painting to the 1960s.
Brief Description:
Titled “Life Drawing Class at the Royal Academy,” the composition presents a fascinating glimpse into the traditional academic studio environment. A female model reclines upon a simple mattress in the foreground, surrounded by an evocative arrangement of wooden easels, artists’ canvases, stools, chairs and suspended globe lights.
The lofty studio is illuminated from an expansive glazed skylight to the left, creating beautifully subdued, cool-toned light throughout the interior. Particularly striking is the large Old Master-style figural painting hanging prominently on the far wall, adding another layer of artistic reference to the composition.
The work has a wonderful sense of depth and stillness, with the solitary model positioned amid the apparently temporarily abandoned equipment of the life room. Its restrained palette of blue-grey, green and earthy tones is very characteristic of the mid-20th-century British figurative tradition.
Painted by Deidre Daines in 1960, the work is signed to the lower right and is presented within its substantial gilt moulded frame.
Of particular interest is the surviving Royal Academy of Arts, London label attached to the reverse, printed “From: The Royal Academy of Arts, London”, numbered 31 and handwritten “D. Daines.” This is a very appealing feature of the painting and provides an important historical association with the Royal Academy.
