Original Description
Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell's Portrait of May Easter (1920) is a radiant example of Scottish Colorist brilliance, capturing the elegance and vitality of interwar portraiture. The painting depicts a poised female figure bathed in warm, luminous hues, her relaxed posture exuding quiet confidence. Cadell's distinctive style blends bold, expressive brushwork with meticulous attention to light — a hallmark of the Edinburgh School. The vibrant yet harmonious palette of creams, pinks, and blues creates an airy sophistication, reflecting Cadell’s Fauvist influences and his mastery of balancing form with chromatic intensity. As a leading figure of early 20th-century British modernism, Cadell’s works like this highlight the Colorists’ pivotal role in bridging Impressionism’s lyricism with modernist simplification. Portrait of May Easter remains celebrated for its timeless modernity, recently auctioned at Sotheby’s for £337,250 (2019), underscoring its enduring market and historical significance.
For interiors, this painting thrives in light-filled spaces like sunlit living rooms or minimalist offices where its warmth can counterbalance cool neutrals. Opt for walls in soft gray or warm white to let the pastel tones sing, and position it at eye level as a focal point above a mid-century console or linen-upholstered sofa. The artwork’s intimate scale (typically around 61x51cm) suits compact arrangements — pair with slender brass frames or organic ceramics to echo its refined spontaneity. In workspaces, it energizes creative environments when paired with walnut wood tones and jewel-toned accents (think emerald or sapphire cushions). Avoid cluttered surrounds; instead, let its rhythmic brushstrokes dictate a curated, airy aesthetic, perhaps alongside a single sculptural lamp in patinated metal for textural dialogue.
