Resting (1905). Orpen, Sir William 1878-1931
Resting (1905). Orpen, Sir William 1878-1931. The model used for Resting was one of Orpen?s favourites, a young washerwoman called Lottie Stafford who lived in a decrepit street called Paradise Walk. The bored resignation of the young washerwoman, whose voluptuous beauty is unnoticed in the squalid setting of the steamy laundry, is reminiscent of the displaced young women who appear in Manet?s bars and music halls. A precocious painter and a brilliant draughtsman, Orpen trained at the Metropolitan School in Dublin and, from 1897, at the Slade School in London and was noted for the assured fluency of his technique. Orpen was the most successful portraitist of his generation and a powerful war artist, producing haunting and memorable images of the conflict. After 1902 he returned to Dublin each year to teach at the Metropolitan School, where he influenced a generation of young Irish painters. Date: 1905

Resting
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Sir William Orpen, created in 1905. The model for this masterpiece was Lottie Stafford, a young washerwoman who lived in the dilapidated Paradise Walk. Orpen, a precocious painter and a brilliant draftsman, was known for his assured fluency of technique. He trained at the Metropolitan School in Dublin and later at the Slade School in London. Orpen's portraits were the most successful of his generation, and he also made powerful contributions as a war artist, producing haunting and memorable images of conflict. Despite her young age and voluptuous beauty, Lottie's bored resignation goes unnoticed in the steamy, squalid setting of the laundry. Her expression evokes the displaced young women in Manet's bars and music halls. The contrast between her unassuming appearance and her inner beauty is a testament to Orpen's skill as a painter. The muted colors and soft brushstrokes add to the overall sense of melancholy and introspection. Orpen's connection to Lottie and her community in Dublin ran deep. After 1902, he returned to Dublin each year to teach at the Metropolitan School, where he influenced a generation of young Irish painters. This painting is a poignant reminder of the lives and stories that often go unnoticed in the margins of society, captured through the lens of Orpen's artistic vision.
