This is a portrait of a woman in a pink top and a striped green, yellow, orange and blue skirt, seated in a flower design chair. Ernest Zobole was a Welsh painter and art teacher. His paintings – originally oil on canvas, later switching to oil on board – reflected the industrial setting of the Rhondda Valleys. Zobole was born in the village of Ystrad in 1927 to Italian immigrants who had moved to Wales in 1910. He was educated at the Cardiff College of Art, spending five years training there. His time at the College was notable for the daily commute from the Valleys to Cardiff, as it was used as an opportunity for Zobole and five fellow students to discuss and critique their art work. Although the six artists never set up a school or published a manifesto, they became known as the Rhondda Group and were an important movement in South Wales art.
