Lady Of Marseille Tea Towel

Add a delightfully decadent touch to your kitchen with this exclusive Beryl Cook tea towel, available only through House of Voltaire. Inspired by the expressive street scenes of Edward Burra, Beryl Cook travelled to Marseille, where she encountered the glamorous subject of this painting: a sun-drenched woman in a leopard-print outfit walking her dogs along the quayside. As Cook said, "I painted this picture after a visit to Marseilles. This girl, dressed in a minute leopard-skin outfit and sporting a golden tan, busied herself going here and there, pausing for a chat or drink, and occasionally disappearing into a dark alley. Her final appearance was from a nearby doorway with three small dogs eager for exercise, crossing the road in front of us as we walked back to the hotel; she left me with this last view of her." Vibrant and full of warmth, this high-quality kitchen textile turns an everyday essential into a collectable piece of British art history. The teatowel is crafted from high-quality, durable cotton designed for excellent absorbency and lasting everyday utility.
