This pair of prints dates to the 1960s and will give any space a strong retro, vintage mid-century feel. The artist John Strevens (1902 -1990) was famous for his depictions of Edwardian-era women, accented with pastel-colored flowers in the background in a loose impressionistic style. He attended classes at the Regent Street Polytechnic and later at Heatherley’s. He was however largely self-taught.

1943 marked a turning point in Strevens’s career with his first one-man show off Bond Street and by 1947 paintings such as The Three Princesses, which were exhibited at the Royal Academy earned him public acclaim. From then on he exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Paris Salon.

Throughout the 1960s, Strevens continued to support his family painting pictures like these that were destined for the popular British print market.
