Original Description
The Red Fan by Sir John Lavery (1856-1941) is a captivating portrait that exudes elegance and quiet sophistication. Painted in 1919, it depicts Hazel Lavery, the artist’s wife and frequent muse, holding a striking red fan against a muted background. The composition balances intimacy and poise—her direct gaze engages the viewer, while the bold crimson fan adds a dramatic focal point. Lavery was a leading figure in British Impressionism and the Glasgow School, known for his deft brushwork and sensitivity to light. This work exemplifies his mastery of portraiture, blending soft realism with subtle tonal harmonies. Historically, it reflects early 20th-century society portraiture, where personal charm and refined aesthetics converged. Today, The Red Fan remains celebrated for its understated allure and technical brilliance, a testament to Lavery’s role in bridging Impressionist fluidity and Edwardian elegance.
For decor, The Red Fan would elevate a study, lounge, or executive office with its timeless sophistication. Ideal for spaces with neutral or warm palettes—think taupe walls or mahogany furniture—the painting’s red accents can be echoed through velvet cushions, a vintage rug, or lacquered decor. Its medium size (approx. 75 x 60 cm) suits above mantels, console tables, or as part of a curated gallery wall alongside muted landscapes or monochrome sketches. Avoid overcrowding; let it command attention as a standalone piece. Pair with gilded frames or minimalist shelves to complement its classical yet fresh appeal. In daylight, the fan’s vibrancy energizes the room; in evening lighting, it exudes warmth, making it versatile for both formal and intimate settings.
