A Study in Black and White, Mrs Henrietta Riviere - Briton Riviere - Fine Art Canvas Wall Art suits both traditional and modern interiors. As a fine art oil painting, it works as a standalone focal point or as part of a home office gallery wall, and unlike a print it is genuinely hand painted in oils.
c.1910
Oil on canvas
132.1 x 109.2 cm
Hetty Riviere, the young woman in the portrait was the artist’s daughter-in-law. After it was painted the picture stayed in the Rivière family and Hetty donated it to the Victoria Art Gallery in 1971 in later life.
Briton Riviere particularly enjoyed painting dogs. They traditionally featured in paintings as symbols of loyalty and dependability. This appealed to the sentimental tastes of the Victorian and Edwardian era, when it became common for sitters in informal portraits to be accompanied by a faithful dog.
Collectors often choose this fine art image when searching for fine art oil painting that feels substantial rather than decorative or disposable.
Materials matter for refined wall decor. That is why this piece is built on artist-grade canvas with lightfast oil colors, applied by hand rather than output from a printer, and sealed for long-term display.
Style it over a fireplace, behind a reading chair, or along a staircase. Wherever it goes, this refined oil painting wall decor adds the layered color that only a hand painted canvas provides.
