About MeJoan Eardley spent the majority of her career painting in Glasgow and Catterline, the small fishing village on the North East Coast of Scotland. Whilst working in Glasgow she became interested in tenement life, and often captured the children living in those areas. Although it is not certain it seems likely that this interior view is of the inside of a tenement building. The kitchen was a place of great activity and here we can see that the occupants were in the middle of doing their laundry.
