Original Description
Dora Carrington’s Circus Horses (+ Self-portrait, Verso) is a captivating duality of vibrant energy and introspective quietude. The front side bursts with the dynamism of circus horses mid-performance—swirling brushstrokes and warm, earthy tones evoke movement and freedom, reflecting Carrington’s fascination with rural life and animal vitality. Flipping the canvas reveals a rare self-portrait: tender yet melancholy, rendered in subdued hues that contrast sharply with the exuberant horses. Painted in the early 1920s, this work embodies Carrington’s unique position within the Bloomsbury Group—bridging post-impressionist boldness with an intimate, almost private emotionality. Though lesser-known than her peers like Virginia Woolf or Duncan Grant, Carrington’s oeuvre, including this double-sided gem, is now celebrated for its lyrical sensitivity and defiance of traditional gendered narratives in early modernist art.
For a striking decor statement, position this artwork in a transitional space—like a study or hallway nook—where both sides can be appreciated intermittently. Its rustic warmth pairs beautifully with mid-century modern furniture or a bohemian-eclectic setting; try framing it unframed or with a slim, neutral-toned float frame to preserve its raw charm. The earthy reds and ochres of the horses harmonize with leather accents or terracotta ceramics, while the verso’s muted palette suits soft linen textiles. Opt for a medium-to-large wall (the original measures 35.5 x 45 cm) to balance its intimacy without overwhelming smaller rooms. In offices, it sparks creativity near a reading corner, its duality mirroring the interplay of professional vigor and personal reflection.
