Bring a touch of lyrical serenity to your home with this museum-quality reproduction of A Water-Lily Pond (c.1919) by Mainie Jellett (1897–1944) — one of Ireland’s most pioneering and beloved artists.
Painted in delicate gouache on paper, this early work captures Jellett’s sensitivity to colour, rhythm, and form, even before her turn toward abstraction. The rippling blues, soft greens, and vivid crimson water lilies create a composition alive with movement and light. Each petal and reflection conveys her meticulous eye for balance — a harmony that would later define her Modernist masterpieces.
In this period, Jellett was training under William Orpen at the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin, before continuing her studies in London and Paris, where she later absorbed the principles of Cubism under André Lhote and Albert Gleizes. Yet even in this early naturalist phase, her fascination with structure and rhythm is evident, foreshadowing her evolution into one of Ireland’s foremost abstract painters.
This archival-quality reproduction is printed on Master’s Edition, 250 gsm matte museum paper to preserve the luminosity and delicate tonal range of the original gouache.
