EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting painting by L Campbell Taylor R.A. captures a moment of whimsy and delight in the elegant Music Room of Sir Stephen Lewis Courtauld and his wife Virginia's London home in 1934. The Courtaulds, known for their refined tastes and love for art and culture, are posing with their pet ring-tailed lemur, Mahjong. The lemur, with its expressive eyes and playful demeanor, adds a touch of exotic charm to the scene. The Music Room, adorned with a plush red carpet and ornate rug, provides a fitting backdrop for this charming portrait. The painting was exhibited at the prestigious Royal Academy, showcasing the Courtaulds' unique personality and their unconventional pet. The 1930s was a time of artistic innovation and experimentation, and this painting encapsulates the spirit of the era with its playful composition and vivid colors. The Courtaulds' pose, with their casual yet elegant demeanor, invites the viewer to imagine the joy and wonder that filled their London home during this time. This painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of the human-animal bond and the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
