The Browning Readers (1900). William Rothenstein (English, 1872-1945). Oil on canvas. Bradford Museums and Galleries.The models were the artist’s wife, Alice, and her sister, Grace, wife of the artist William Orpen. Rothenstein depicted the readers in a quietly lit domestic parlour, decorated in an artistic ‘oriental’ style. This work was influential on contemporary interior decoration. The simplicity of the decoration started a fashion for uncluttered interiors. -- source link
