With the following caveat, you must select one that you love, rather than for its worth etc.

At the moment, I would choose “Sketch of a Seated Cat” by Gwen John. ❤️

I purchased my first and very own piece of art this year, for my birthday, and I love it, it's such a pleasure to own a treasure.
Obviously not in the same league as a Gwen Owen ! If if could chose anything, it would be a Bonnard. Maybe The White Cat 😻 or Flowers on a Mantelpiece.

The Mill by Lowry, The Hay Wain by Constable or anything by Gustav Klimt.

@AintgointogoaThat’s beautiful!

murasaki · 10/04/2026 23:34

Raft of the Medusa by Gericault. But I'd need a much much bigger house.

Meetmeunderthemoonlight · 10/04/2026 23:39

Mine would be like pp the mill by Lowry or the girl with the balloon by Banksy. I have a print of people at the beach by Lowry and I absolutely love it.

Sickert

The Camden Town Murder

Bloody hell, that’s a bit grim.

FourSevenThree · 11/04/2026 00:03

Seems that Starry night by Gogh is still free :) I'd take it.

queenofnorthsheen · 11/04/2026 00:04

@SmeIIWow, love that!!

Nat6999 · 11/04/2026 00:05

Anything by Pete McKee, he was in my class at school & I love his paintings as a lot of them are of the area I live & the music I love.

EveyHammond · 11/04/2026 00:07

the mona lisa because of da vinci / the school of Athens because of the symbolism of learning

The scream by Edvard Munch.

Brave.

It's impressive, but I'd be afraid to have it around me every day. Too disturbing.

MrsTrellisOgleddCymru · 11/04/2026 00:07

I know you said one piece, but I really couldn't choose between my 2 favourite pieces! First is The Lady of Shalott - John William Waterhouse. The second Brain Salad Surgery Works Nr 217 - H R Giger.
