An early painting — a figure reclining on an ochre chaise longue in low, filmic light, absorbed in a screen. A quiet nod to Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring sits within it.

One of the first works selected for the RHA, and already circling the subject I keep returning to: a figure lit like a film still, lost in an image of their own.
