Maud Frances Eyston Sumner (South African, 1902-1985)Still life
signed and dated 'SUMNER 45' (lower left)
oil on board
51 x 64cm (20 1/16 x 25 3/16in).
(framed)FootnotesProvenance
A private collection, South Africa.
Frequently returning to still life paintings throughout her career, Maud Sumner would regularly incorporate vases of flowers, fruit, and elements indicating her presence, such as her hat resting on the table in this case. Always with a view to exemplify the freeness of nature, this present work displays a carefree and casual scene.
The present work was completed after Sumner had returned to South Africa, having lived and worked for many years in England and France. The artist began to embark on more abstract scenes in the 1940s, later in her career, making still life paintings such as the present work comparatively rarer in her artistic oeuvre.
