EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Walter Bonner Gash that offers a glimpse into the tranquil world of domestic leisure in Edwardian England. Measuring 76.7x63.4 cm, this exquisite piece was one of Gash's earliest masterworks created at his residence on Stamford Road in Kettering. Completed around 1912, shortly after the artist and his wife settled into their new home, the painting features two figures who are believed to be Gash's young wife and her sister. The sisters are portrayed engrossed in a moment of quiet repose as they indulge in the pleasure of reading together. The composition showcases both standing and seated positions, capturing the serene profile view of one sister while highlighting the full-length figure of another. Through delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail, Gash expertly conveys a sense of tranquility that permeates throughout the entire scene. With its emphasis on feminine beauty and introspective contemplation, "The New Book" invites viewers to immerse themselves in an era where leisurely activities such as reading were cherished pastimes for women. This remarkable portrait not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a testament to Gash's artistic prowess and ability to evoke emotion through paint.
