Recently Acquired Suffused with an atmosphere of longing and anticipation, Tina Spratt’s Sunlit Afternoon is an exquisitely realised pastel work. The piece casts a spell over the viewer, as details and suggestions previously unseen, are discovered with every fresh glance. From the lush, softly billowing garden gleaned through a lounge window, to the interior’s fall of light and shadow, to the sitter herself, shining in a simple summer dress, elegant and contemplative.
