About the artwork
Ethel Sands was an important figure as a literary and artistic patron and hostess in the London modern art scene between 1906 and 1914, as well as an artist in her own right. Here she paints afternoon tea with her partner Nan Hudson sat on a sofa, facing their friend Walter Sickert, who sits in an armchair, smoking. It looks as though Sands has left the scene to paint the large scale picture, as the table is set with tea for three.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Ethel Sands (1873 – 1962) was an American-born artist and society hostess. Growing up mostly in England, Sands went to Paris to study painting at the Académie Carrière in 1894, encouraged by John Singer Sargent. There she met her life partner and fellow artist Anna (Nan) Hope Hudson. When her mother died in 1896, Sands became carer for her two younger brothers and inherited a considerable fortune that meant she was able to work as an artist without financial pressure. Her best-known works are interiors and still-lifes. Sands first exhibited her artworks in Paris at the Salon d’Automne, and was a regular exhibitor in London. In 1907 she joined the Fitzroy Street Group at Walter Sickert’s invitation, and was a founder-member of the London Group. As well as exhibiting her own work, she was an active patron of modern artists. Unfortunately most of her and Hudson’s works were destroyed along with their homes during The Second World War. She died in London aged 88, leaving a wealth of correspondence now kept in the Tate Archive.
