This evocative original painting by Graham Isom captures a quiet, introspective moment between two young women. Soft, modernist brushstrokes and delicate tonal work evoke a sense of intimacy and stillness, creating a compelling portrait of human connection. Likely painted in the early 1980s, the composition reflects the emotional sensitivity that would come to define Isom’s celebrated career.

Originally trained as a sculptor at Ravensbourne College of Art, Isom later turned to painting, first exploring figure studies before becoming internationally known for his equine work. This piece predates his later acclaim, offering a rare and insightful look into the early creative evolution of a now-renowned artist.
