Adopt a Painting - The Gossips, Lorraine
by Henri Blahay (1869-1927)
Description
This large painting was an early acquisition by the Gallery's founder, T.R. Ferens, in 1913. It is unusual as it represents a French rather than British artist of the Edwardian era. It has been identified as a priority for the forthcoming Victorian and Edwardian catalogue of the Ferens' collection.
Work required
There is a significant amount of work required before this work can be displayed, including the repair of a large tear in the canvas, seen on the sleeve of the woman's cream blouse.
