A Water-Lily Pond (c.1919) by Mainie Jellett – Collector’s Edition
Experience the quiet poetry of Mainie Jellett’s early work with this Collector’s Edition museum-quality reproduction of A Water-Lily Pond (c.1919). Painted in delicate gouache, this lyrical study reveals Jellett’s emerging mastery of colour, structure, and rhythm—hallmarks that would later define her role as a pioneer of Irish Modernism.
The composition glows with soft blues and greens, punctuated by vivid crimson lilies drifting across gently rippling water. Even before her groundbreaking turn toward Cubism, Jellett’s instinct for harmony and balance is unmistakable, offering a rare glimpse into the foundations of her artistic evolution.
