This intriguing British Edwardian figurative interior oil painting is by noted artist Arthur Croft Mitchell. It is entitled Two Worlds verso and dated as c1910. The composition of this conversation piece is two women in a room with three religious statues, suggesting it is a religious setting. The older woman, dressed in black and purple, is sat at a table sewing. The younger woman is stood at a sunny window, but turning back into the room, her arm outstretched as if encouraging her mother to come to the window and the light. She is wearing the white headdress of a novice nun over a pale yellow floral dress. There is indeed an interesting story going on in this painting. The colours are vibrant, the details superb and the use of light sublime. This is an excellent example of Mitchell's work and of Edwardian
British art.

This beautiful Italian religious Old Master oil painting is attributed to circle of Massimo Stanzione. Painted circa 1640, the composition is the Madonna holding baby Jesus as he stands on a table and leans in to her, his arm around her neck. She is dressed in red with a blue shawl and Jesus is partially covered with a white blanket. He is looking out at the viewer, his mother’s face close to him as if whispering to him. It is a very touching painting, still vibrant and in good condition.
This stunning Scottish 1920's self portrait oil painting is by noted Scottish female artist Helen Mackenzie. Painted circa 1929 the composition is the head and shoulders of the artist looking at colourful flowers in a vase with a beautiful white cat stretched out on the back of the sofa behind her. She is wearing a white off the shoulder dress and clasping a pendant to her chest. The brushwork and heavy impasto are superb and this shows all the attributes of the Scottish School and Colourist tradition.
This painting can now be viewed at Tate Britain, London .
This superb oil on canvas self portrait painting is by British Victorian female artist Louise Jopling. Painted in 1875, when the artist was pregnant with her son Lindsay, the painting is a three quarter length self portrait of the artist painting herself from a reflection. She is seated wearing a light blue gown and mop hat and holds a palette and brushes. There is an oriental screen behind and various objects in the room. The brush work and impasto are fantastic. It is an absolutely charming self portrait by a prominent Victorian female portrait painter.
A research project on Louise Jopling and her circle has been in progress at the University of Glasgow since 2005. The project aims to document her career as a leading female artist and her close-knit artistic, literary and theatrical world of late 19th century London and Paris. It also seeks to understand better the climate in which women then practised as artists and, more generally, the climate for women's growing participation in the workplace and in public life.

Tate Britian say:
Tate Britain has made an exceptional acquisition, bringing to light the often-overlooked brilliance of Louise Jopling, a pioneering English artist whose legacy has languished in obscurity for over a century. Jopling, a prominent figure in the 19th-century art scene and a staunch suffragist, was sidelined by an art establishment that failed to recognise her professional achievements.
The painting in question, a captivating self-portrait created in 1875 during Jopling’s pregnancy with her son, Lindsay, is a poignant nod to her talent and resilience. Titled “Through the Looking Glass,” this artwork is a gateway into Jopling’s world and her remarkable journey as a woman artist in Victorian England.
