- Synopsis
- This is an oil paint on canvas painting from This is one of several pictures Gilman painted of his fellow tenant and cleaning lady Mrs Mounter found at the Walker Art Gallery. Mrs Mounter, who dominates the painting, is sitting behind a table looking directly out of the painting with a fixed expression. Her head and upper body are just visible from behind the table that is laid ready for teatime and she has her arms out of sight down by her sides. Only part of the table is shown, the rest of it disappears off the bottom and lower left-hand side of the painting. Behind Mrs Mounter on the right of the painting, is a half opened panelled door with long finger plate through which you get a glimpse of striped vivid blue wallpaper. The tactile image is 3 times smaller than the actual painting and shows an overview of the painting with the signature in the bottom right-hand corner. Mrs Mounter's overcoat is shown by a texture with thick lines to show some of the black lines for the folds in the material. The overcoat texture also shows her hair, eyebrows, and the teapot stand. Solid texture shows her eyes, mouth, headscarf, neck scarf at the collar, teapot, spoons, chair and finger plate on the door. Two different textures show the cups/saucers/plates and milk jug. The table cloth has no texture. The pattern on the wallpaper is shown as thin lines on no texture. The door and panel is shown as a light texture with lines for the panel detail.
