About this artwork
An old label on the back of the picture gives the title. W.W. Peploe's inspiration seems to have come partly from the black and white ink drawings of Aubrey Beardsley from the 1890s, and partly from Futurism and Vorticism.

William Watson Peploe
William Watson Peploe
The older brother of Samuel John Peploe, W.W. Peploe was a bank manager with the Commercial Bank of Scotland in Stockbridge, Edinburgh. An amateur painter, a small number of the works he produced bear an intriguing relationship to contemporary futurist and vorticist art.
