"When the Blue Evening Slowly Falls," Frank Bramley, 1909.

Bramley (1857-1915) was an English post-Impressionist painter and a member of what was called the "Newlyn School," part of an artists colony at the fishing village of Newlyn, near Penzance in Cornwall. Most Newlyn painters did landscapes and seascapes; Bramley did interiors, melding natural and artificial light.

The model here is believed to be his wife, painter Katherine Graham, in their home near Grasmere in the English Lake District.

The painting itself is a lovely evocation of the gathering dusk on a warm day...you can see the green outside, and trees that might be in full or partial leaf. This is a spring or summer scene.

From a private collection.
