The critic and 42. White Flower). The price listed for the work was $350. The painting was placed on show once more in April 1913 at the Ontario Society of Artists 41st Annual Exhibition at the Art Museum of Toronto (no. 21, alongside 20. Music and 22. The Threshold). Given that Carlyle’s address is still listed in this later catalogue as Woodstock, Ontario, it may be surmised that the work was displayed prior to her departure to England.Sometime in the summer of 1913 (the CNE Department of Fine Arts catalogue from late August 23 lists the artist as living in England), Florence Carlyle left Canada to travel through Italy with her dear friend Judith Hastings. The urban vistas and canals of Venice, the city in which they spent the majority of their time, provided much inspiration for Carlyle. The pair remained in Europe following their holiday, sharing a small cottage in Sussex, England, which Hastings had rented for herself the previous summer. They also spent time visiting Hasting’s parents in Wimbleton at Yew Tree Cottage – a picturesque and idyllic setting in the English countryside.One work painted during this happy time, entitled The Guest, Venice appears to depict both the artist and Ms. Hastings engaged in conversation beside an open window. Butlin states that the work attests to Carlyle’s “close, supportive relationship with Judith Hastings. Hastings provided camaraderie, acted as a travelling partner and remained her close companion for many years.” Their proximity in the scene suggests a closeness, and a sincere enjoyment of each other’s company.The female figure in The Story closely resembles the attentive listener present in The Guest, Venice, leading one to speculate that the sitter in Carlyle’s 1912 painting is the sitter in the later work: Miss Judith Hastings. In both scenes, the woman appears rapt in her activity – be it conversation or in the book which she holds. Her dress and her complexion are rosy and beautiful – rich, pink tones flowing through both fle

However, unlike many women painters of her day, Carlyle was not a hobby painter but an accomplished professional artist and in 1897 was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy as an Associate Member.

    Florence Carlyle 1864 - 1923 Canadian watercolour on paper Roses (No. 17) 40 x 27 inches 101.6 x 68.6 centimeters signed Literature:Joan Murray, Florence Carlyle: Against All Odds, Museum London, 2004, listed as part of the 1902 Ontario Society of Artists' exhibition page 75 Provenance:Private Collection, Vancouver Exhibited:Ontario Society of Artists, Toronto, Thirtieth Annual Exhibition, February 29, 1902, catalogue #17 Florence Carlyle was a prominent late nineteenth / early twentieth century artist, and one of the important portrait painters of her day. For women, this was a time of dramatic change, as they emerged from the Victorian ideals and roles into greater independence and self-realization. Encouraged by artist Paul Peel, Carlyle traveled to Paris to study. She also traveled in Italy and England, and her list of exhibitions by 1902 was considerable, both in Canada and abroad. Carlyle was a modern woman, drawn to the tenets of the Aesthetic movement, a group of poets, painters and designers who were devoted to beauty and who sought to elevate the taste of English industrial society. Certainly this can be seen in Carlyle's lovely portraits of women and exquisite still life works such as this. Roses (No. 17), a luxurious bouquet of flowers that artfully tumble onto the table below, also features a luminous golden bowl. This beautiful work was painted in the same year as one of her best-known works, The Tiff, in the collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario.
