Original Description
The Green Sofa by Sir John Lavery (1856-1941) is a captivating oil painting from 1910 that radiates Edwardian elegance. Depicting the artist's wife Hazel reclining on an emerald-green velvet sofa against soft golden drapery, the work embodies Lavery's mastery of light and intimate domestic scenes. The painting's lush brushwork and harmonious color palette exemplify the Glasgow School's influence, blending Impressionistic spontaneity with Whistlerian tonal harmony. Currently held in private collections, this artwork represents Lavery's transition between portrait commissions and more personal interiors, offering a glimpse into the refined aesthetic of early 20th-century bourgeois life. Art historically, it bridges traditional portraiture and modernist interior studies, showcasing Lavery's significant role in British Post-Impressionism through its sophisticated treatment of reflective surfaces and the interplay between figure and furnishings.
For interior placement, The Green Sofa's reproduction would splendidly elevate a reading nook or formal sitting area. The artwork's dominant emerald tones pair beautifully with brass accents, dark woods, or blush pink textiles, creating a luxurious yet balanced scheme. In a study or executive office, select a gilded frame to echo the painting's warm undertones, and position it where natural light can enhance its luminous quality. Ideal above a similarly-colored velvet sofa or between bookshelves, the piece commands attention at its original size (approximately 81x100cm) – scale down proportionally for smaller spaces. For contemporary interiors, balance its traditional subject matter with clean-lined furniture, allowing the artwork to serve as a vibrant focal point that connects modern and classic design elements. The painting's intimate atmosphere particularly suits spaces meant for conversation or quiet contemplation.
