About this work
Scenes of recreation and leisure were a recurring focus for Ethel Carrick, with the artist often depicting fashionably dressed people promenading in gardens or shopping at French markets. Here the artist’s stylised portrayal of bouquets captures the tranquillity and beauty of the French flower market. Carrick’s distinctive luminous palette was developed during her studies at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, when she looked to Camille Pissarro and Claude Monet for inspiration. The work has visual parallels with paintings produced by Carrick’s husband, fellow artist E. Phillips Fox, who was working on similar scenes of fashionable leisure around this time and who also employed a strikingly lucent palette.
