Description: | This painting almost certainly shows the Hampstead home of Charles Aitken, who was Director of the Tate gallery between 1917 and 1930. (The same room is shown in a portrait of Aitken, in the Tate collection, painted by Stephen Bone and exhibited in 1932.) Both Aitken and the artist, Ellen D. Nicholson, lived in Church Row, an elegant street of mainly seventeenth and eighteenth century houses leading to the parish church of St John. Aitken lived at number 28, while Nicholson lived in a block of late nineteenth-century mansion flats on the opposite side of the road. The room is furnished with a mixture of antique pieces and decorative ceramics, typical of well-to-do artistic taste of the time. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Geffrye Museum | Rights holder: | Unknown | Subjects: | Home and Family | Temporal: | 1913-1928 | Source: | Geffrye Museum | Creator: | Nicholson, Ellen Dora | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
