The artwork titled “Bronze by Gold” was created by the artist Richard Hamilton in the year 1987. It belongs to the genre painting category and depicts a scene reflective of everyday life. The painting shows two women at a bar, engaged in conversation, with one woman’s arm around the other’s shoulder.
In the artwork, two women are centrally positioned and are holding what appear to be beer taps, suggesting they are in a pub or bar setting. The attire of the women is notable, with both wearing black dresses and accessories such as chokers and brooches. The background features other individuals who seem to be patrons, engaged in their own activities, enhancing the lively and social atmosphere of the scene. The establishment’s name appears partially in gold letters against the backdrop, contributing to the painting’s title and adding a layer of context to the setting depicted. The execution of the figures and the setting portrays a sense of familiarity and interaction common in such social venues.
