Beautifully framed, Charles Blackman’s ‘A Siesta’ is a charming portrait of a woman in reverie. Sprawled across a couch, perhaps on a Summer’s afternoon, three objects sit before her: a teacup; flower in a vase; and incense. Blackman sketches a window into domestic bliss.

Blackman stands among Australia’s most beloved and collectable artists. With a career as distinct as it is diverse, his work is united by a sense of romance. For collectors of him and interiors, ‘A Siesta’ is a delightful find – a collectable reminder to indulge in rest.
