Original Description
"Girl in a Chair - Two Versions" by Wilfred Gabriel De Glehn (1870-1951) captures the essence of early 20th-century Impressionism with its luminous brushwork and intimate domesticity. Painted circa 1910-1920 during De Glehn's maturity as a Society portraitist, these companion pieces showcase his mastery of light - particularly in rendering diaphanous fabrics and the subtle interplay of sunlight through interiors. The dual versions (likely featuring his wife Jane as model) demonstrate the artist's Academic-trained draftsmanship softened by Whistlerian tonal harmony, straddling between Edwardian elegance and Post-Impressionist experimentation. As a prominent member of the Newlyn School who exhibited alongside Sargent (his close collaborator on Boston Public Library murals), De Glehn's works represent the transatlantic cultural exchange between European salon painting and American Gilded Age aesthetics. The paintings' introspective mood and refined coloration place them as significant bridges between late Impressionism and the emerging Modernist sensibilities.
For interior spaces, these artworks command their best presence in traditional or transitional settings with 19th-century architectural details. Hang them as a pair in a wood-paneled study or above a Chesterfield sofa, allowing 40-48" between frames to maintain visual dialogue. The paintings' warm ochre and peach tones harmonize beautifully with Farrow & Ball's "Setting Plaster" or "India Yellow" walls. Choose gilded Rococo-revival frames to echo De Glehn's Salon exhibition history, or opt for simpler gilt linen liners for contemporary spaces. In offices, they lend gravitas when flanking a Federal-style desk, with their 24x30" dimensions (typical for De Glehn's domestic scenes) providing ideal proportion above credenzas. Layer with velvet upholstery in sap green or faded rose to complement the palette, and position adjustable spotlights at 30-degree angles to recreate the artist's observed lighting effects. Their genteel aesthetic particularly suits private libraries or boutique hotel lounges seeking cultured refinement.
