Artworks

A woman with bowed head prepares food at the far end of a long white-clothed table laid with plates, a basket of oranges, dishes of fruit and a patterned tray, painted in soft muted colour

The Table

View from an open casement over the red roofs of a southern town to distant hills, a green shutter at right; on the chequered desk below lie papers, a pen, an inkwell and a book lettered 'MARIE', a woman leaning at the rail outside.

The Window

A nude woman lies full-length in a bathtub, her body seen through pale green-blue water, her dark bobbed head resting at one end; a yellow-tiled wall runs above and a mauve rug below.

The Bath

A woman in a yellow top drinks from a white cup at a table covered with a red and white checked cloth, a dachshund perched beside her; a pale teapot, saucers and a black tray share the table, another figure at right

Coffee

Pont de la Concorde

Sun-dappled interior in mottled pinks and mauves: a woman in a long rose-coloured dress holds a small bowl beside a table set with a white plate and jugs, near a window with a balustrade and a vase of red flowers
