My dining room is a 1936 oil by Annie Elizabeth Kelly, a American Impressionism work, held at Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
This painting shows a dining room with a round table and four chairs. The table has a white tablecloth and a small bowl of fruit on it. There are two portraits on the wall behind the table, and a fireplace with a vase of flowers on the mantle. The room is decorated with a rug, a couch, and a chandelier. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the furniture and decor. The colors are muted, with shades of brown, beige, and white dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of warmth and coziness, inviting the viewer to step into the room. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
Annie Elizabeth Kelly (née Abbott; 12 April 1877 – 4 October 1946) was a New Zealand artist best known for her portrait paintings. She was the first New Zealand woman to receive the CBE for services to art.
