MWW Artwork of the Day (12/9/22) Louis Eilshemius (American, 1864–1941) The Rejected Suitor (1915) Oil on illustration board, 51.4 x 76.8 cm. The Phillips Collection, Washington DC

"The Rejected Suitor" is one of several works Louis Michel Eilshemius painted around 1915 that resemble theatrical tableaus. Duncan Phillips said that it was like "an unchangeably perfect scene in a grim and dismal play by Ibsen." Its theatrical quality is enhanced by the device of the "self-made frame," Eilshemius's painted border, which encloses the scene like a proscenium arch. Using a dark palette in which browns and deep reds predominate, Eilshemius painted figures and settings with a broad, almost caricature-like simplicity. He also stopped using canvas and began painting on scraps of cardboard and cigar-box lids. Phillips noticed an underlying sophistication of design in "The Rejected Suitor," which features the repetition of ovals, the juxtaposition of horizontal and vertical elements, and "modulations of darks and lights –- warmer and cooler areas within the melancholy tone and the dominant shapes."
