About this piece
A beautiful handmade folding screen, individually hand painted by an artist, depicting an elegant black Greyhound standing proudly before rich red drapery. With its slender form, delicate collar and theatrical setting, the composition draws inspiration from traditional European animal portraiture and the decorative interiors of grand English country houses. The dramatic red backdrop, with its sweeping folds and gilt detailing, provides a beautiful contrast to the dark tones of the Greyhound. A traditional top hat, gloves and upholstered cushion complete the composition, giving the painting a slightly playful yet wonderfully formal character. Crafted from painted board with an elegant shaped upper edge and folding panels, the screen has a theatrical quality reminiscent of decorative painted screens found in traditional English country houses. I have a similar screen in my own home, featuring a pig, which I use to conceal our television when it isn’t in use. I love the idea of hiding modern technology behind something handmade and beautiful, rather than having a television dominate the room. These screens are equally lovely positioned in front of an unused fireplace, displayed upon a mantelpiece or placed against a wall as an artwork in their own right. The folding design allows the panels to be adjusted to suit different spaces and arrangements. Please note that the screen is made from painted board and is not suitable for use in front of a working fireplace or anywhere exposed to heat.
