More about this artwork

This painting by Edward Penfield, entitled "Man and Woman Sitting Together," features a stylized depiction of a man and a woman seated side by side. The artwork is rendered in a crisp and graphic style, typical of Penfield’s signature approach, which often reflects influences of the Art Nouveau movement and early 20th-century advertising posters.In the painting, the man is sitting on the left, dressed in a light-colored shirt and dark trousers, with a patterned cap. He’s holding what looks like a pair of gloves or perhaps knitting, his attention directed towards it, suggesting a moment of relaxation or casual activity. The woman, on the right, wears a striking red cloak and a unique hat with a plaid design, evoking a sense of fashion and poise distinctive of the era. Her posture is upright, and her gaze directed outward, seeming to engage directly with the viewer, adding a layer of interaction to the scene.They both sit on what appears to be a wicker bench, and they are partially covered by a plaid blanket, suggesting an outdoor setting or a cool day. The background is minimalistic, focusing the viewer's attention on the figures and their attire.The use of bold colors, especially the red of the woman’s cloak and the patterns in the blanket, provides visual interest and contrast, while the facial expressions and body language of the figures suggest a quiet companionship.

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.
