Sunlight – William Orpen Collector’s Edition Art Print

Sunlight by William Orpen – Collector’s Edition

Bring the quiet drama of William Orpen’s Sunlight (c.1925) into your home with this museum-quality Collector’s Edition fine art print. Painted in Orpen’s London studio, the scene captures a woman seated on a floral sofa, lifting her stocking in a shaft of light. The play of sunlight across skin, fabric, and upholstery turns an everyday gesture into something timeless and intimate.

On the wall behind her hangs Claude Monet’s Seine at Argenteuil from Orpen’s own collection, a subtle homage to French Impressionism. Our Collector’s Edition faithfully reproduces every nuance of colour and texture, allowing you to enjoy this important work of early 20th-century Irish art in a gallery-standard finish.

About the Artwork

Painted around 1925, Sunlight reflects Orpen’s fascination with domestic interiors and the unposed moments of everyday life. The model’s green arm band is a 1920s roll garter, a small fashionable accessory that adds period character to the scene. Light streams in from the left, bathing the sofa, curtain, and figure in a warm glow that gives the work its title.

This Collector’s Edition reproduction offers a refined way to enjoy one of William Orpen’s most atmospheric studio paintings—ideal for collectors, admirers of Irish art, or anyone seeking a sophisticated focal point for their living room, bedroom, or study.
