My Mother near the Window is a 2007 by Celia Paul, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A gentle portrait print shows a woman near a window. Artist Celia Paul made it in 2007 using soft-ground etching. The small print sits quietly in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s holdings. Paul often draws family, including her mother, in spare and intense prints. This one feels soft and inward, like a quiet memory. Look next at artist: Paul, Celia.
Celia Paul’s 2007 print *My Mother near the Window* depicts the artist’s mother in profile, her gaze directed toward a window. Rendered in soft-ground etching, the work emphasizes quiet intimacy and a subdued, atmospheric quality. The composition centers on the elderly subject’s head and shoulders, framed by the subdued tones of her surroundings. The print was produced in collaboration with Dorothea Wight at Studio Prints, reflecting Paul’s shift toward softer, more evocative printmaking techniques.
