Description: | This large picture shows the artist's family in their Glasgow home. Unlike a usual portrait painting, the sitters are turned towards each other, intent on their game of chess. Japanese prints on pale walls and the blue and white china in the cabinet describe a particular style of decoration popular in the early 20th century. The picture was probably painted about the time that Allan Mainds became Professor of Fine Art at the University in Newcastle in 1931. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1931 to 1933 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Allan Douglass Mainds | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
