Under the Cherry Tree by John Lavery Art Print

Figures in dappled shade under a tree in blossom, painted in a near-perfect square. John Lavery had a sure instinct for the shape of a picture.

The square is the hardest format to balance — no long side to lead the eye — and Lavery uses the tree to divide it and the shadows to hold it together. The people are almost incidental.

It comes from the years when he was still, in his own mind, one of the Glasgow Boys rather than a portrait painter.
