Walter Sickert's "Woman Seated on a Bed" (1910)

"Woman Seated on a Bed" is an evocative oil on canvas painting by Walter Sickert, created in 1910. Sickert, a prominent figure in the Camden Town Group, is known for his focus on urban scenes and domestic interiors, often exploring themes of intimacy and isolation. This work exemplifies his interest in the everyday life of the early 20th century, capturing a moment of quiet introspection. The painting's muted color palette and loose brushwork reflect Sickert's transition from Impressionism to a more modernist approach.
