“Marie Louise Kane writes, “A series of women-in-interiors painted around 1913…are among Miller’s most inventive works. By placing his figures indoors in front of windows overlooking gardens, as he increasingly did, Miller could combine the play of natural light with complex patterns created by man-made objects, like shutters, blinds, wicker chairs, striped and tiered fabrics, and French doors.  …Using the same model, costume, setting, accessories and palette, Miller painted three closely-related versions of the same theme.  …The degree to which Miller succeeded in establishing a quiet, meditative mood amidst the profusion of pattern and color in these paintings is another measure of his skill” (A Bright Oasis, The Paintings of Richard Edward Miller, New York, 1997, p. 41).”
