{"product_id":"rollande-prudence-heward","title":"Rollande - Prudence Heward","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking 1929 portrait by Prudence Heward, featuring a young woman in a pink pinafore set against a simplified rural backdrop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted in 1929, Rollande is a defining work by the Canadian artist Prudence Heward. The composition features a young woman seated firmly in the foreground, her hands placed confidently on her hips. She wears a distinctive pink pinafore over a dark long-sleeved garment, creating a clear visual contrast against the muted tones of the rural setting. Heward employs a sculptural approach to the figure, using solid forms and clear outlines to define the subject's presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background depicts a simplified rural scene, featuring a white farmhouse and rolling hills under a grey sky. This setting provides a sense of place without distracting from the sitter. Heward was known for her direct, unidealised approach to portraiture, often focusing on the psychological weight of her subjects. The gaze of the sitter is steady and confrontational, engaging the viewer directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects the broader stylistic shifts in Canadian art during the early twentieth century, moving away from traditional academic styles toward a more modern, expressive form of representation. Heward, a member of the Beaver Hall Group, often explored the female experience through her portraiture. Her use of colour is deliberate, with the pink of the pinafore acting as a central element that anchors the composition. The painting remains a significant example of her ability to combine formal rigour with a strong sense of individual character. The work is currently held in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada, where it is recognised for its technical precision and its contribution to the development of Canadian modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/female-model-vilhelm-lundstrom-2\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFemale Model - Vilhelm Lundstrøm — Vilhelm Lundstrøm\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/proun-4b-el-lissitzky\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eProun 4B - El Lissitzky — El Lissitzky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Prudence Heward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455469523279,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455498654031,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455498686799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58455498719567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58455498752335,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58455498785103,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58455498817871,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58455498850639,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58455498883407,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58455498916175,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58455498948943,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58455498981711,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Rollande_Poster_CompositorV1_1786245849525.jpg?v=1786488193","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/rollande-prudence-heward","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
