About the piece

Painted in 1917, Harold Gilman's 'Sylvia Darning' is a masterful example of the Camden Town Group's interest in modern domestic scenes. The work features a rich, post-impressionist palette of emerald, pink, and teal, with thick, textured brushwork that brings a sense of intimacy and depth to the interior setting.
