DescriptionOil on canvas, 1953. Hilda Carline was Spencer’s first wife, and in this home coming scene she is welcomed by the artist and their two daughters Unity and Shirin. It is one of the ‘Domestic Scene’ paintings, wherein Spencer nostalgically recreates or reimagines instances in their marriage. But it also speaks of the universal experience of home coming, of reconnection with loved ones, and of family reunited. A very touching print.
