Studio Interior 1929

Samuel Peploe's "Studio Interior" (1929) depicts a simple scene of a room. The viewer looks through a doorway into a room with a chair, a window and a fireplace. Light streams in from the window, illuminating the space, while the room is otherwise shrouded in a shadowy, atmospheric stillness. The painting's muted tones and loose brushstrokes create a sense of tranquility and intimacy, typical of Peploe's style. This is a great example of the Scottish Colourists' distinctive approach, emphasizing expressive brushwork and a vibrant use of color.
