A wonderfully modest, yet intimate oil portrait showing a young, dark haired woman cooking at a kitchen stove against a brown wall. The beautiful lighting casts her face into shade and her shadow thrown onto the wall is soft and highlights the closeness of her surroundings and the intimacy of the scene. The muted palette gives a grounding sense of realism and everyday that reflects in the emotion of the execution; this is a window into the domesticity of true love.
The painting is unsigned but has several labels at the back with the artist's details and title of the painting. One label on the frame at the reverse bears the artist's signature. The painting has been well presented in a complimenting grey, lime-washed frame with suitable distressing which adds to the realism of the portrait.
On canvas.The painting is in fine condition. The frame has some chipping, scuffing and scratches across its surface.

David Graham graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1951. In the same year, he exhibited for the first time at the Royal Academy. Graham's skill in fondling paint is evident. He is particularly concerned with the light and colour of his subjects and his spontaneous paintings (all painted on site) have a vibrancy and richness which transform them into images of visual and emotional experience.
David has exhibited at Royal Society of Portrait Painters, The Royal Academy, Contemporary Art Society, Barbican and many others
