Miss Auras - The Red Book
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating painting by the renowned Irish artist, Sir John Lavery (1856-1941). This exquisite work of art, created around the year 1908, showcases the enchanting profile of a young German woman named Mary Auras. Mary was a cherished family friend of the Laverys, and she graciously posed for several of Sir John's paintings, including this one. The painting depicts Mary in an Edwardian armchair, engrossed in the pages of a large, red book. Her expression is one of deep concentration, as if she is lost in the world of the text before her. The rich red hues of the book and the velvety fabric of her dress contrast beautifully with the soft, muted tones of the background. Sir John Lavery's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the painting, bringing Mary and her surroundings to life. The artist's skillful brushstrokes capture every detail, from the intricate patterns on the armchair to the delicate folds of Mary's dress. This evocative portrait of Mary Auras, with its timeless subject matter and exquisite execution, is a testament to Sir John Lavery's artistic genius. It transports us to a bygone era, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the red book and the thoughts that may be swirling in Mary's mind. This painting is a must-have for any art collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the power of the written word.
