More about this artwork

This artwork by Edward Penfield is a vibrant, illustrative piece titled "Vintage Christmas." It depicts a scene that is both serene and visually striking, crafted in the flat-color Art Nouveau style that was popular during Penfield's time.In the painting, a woman with blonde hair is shown in profile, seated comfortably in what appears to be a high-backed, wooden chair. She is engrossed in reading a book, which displays a picture of a building on its cover. Her posture and the book suggest a moment of quiet leisure, possibly reflecting the peacefulness associated with the Christmas season.To her right, there is a black and white cat sitting on the orange cushion of the chair, looking directly out towards the viewer. The presence of the cat adds a sense of domestic warmth and companionship to the scene.Behind the woman, two large, wreath-like decorations of holly adorn the wall, framing the scene with a festive, Christmas feel. The wallpaper, decorated with subtle floral details, adds to the intricate yet understated background.The color scheme of the artwork—dominated by shades of yellow, black, green, and a striking orange seat—creates a bold visual impact.

Edward Penfield (1866-1925) was an influential American poster artist, considered as the father of the American poster movement. He was employed as an art editor for Harper’s Weekly, Monthly, and Harper’s Bazaar, where he made posters advertising each issue of the magazine for over seven years. His art was avant-garde with less concern for the dramatic curving lines of Art Nouveau, inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e block prints, figure drawings by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, color lithographies by Jules Chéret, and other contemporary artists. He created simplified scenes of daily life in saturated colors, including horses, cats, sports, and women’s fashion.
