Notes
This painting depicts Marjorie Wallace's home in spring. According to Amanda Botha, she is known for painting her lounge/dining room always from the same angle to represent the four seasons. The spring flowers in the vase are picked from her garden.Literature
cf. Amanda Botha (2006). Marjorie Wallace: Drif en Vreugde, Cape Town: David Philip. A comparable example painted from a similar angle with the same yellowwood table and blue checkered table cloth illustrated in colour on the page facing page 129.
