While sorting out some of Ponckle’s many possessions, we came across a box of prints we had never seen before. Self Portrait with Black Cat and Ponckle Among the Poppies were both painted in 1998, when Ponckle was at the height of her painting career in St Ives and beginning to paint a lot of self portraits looking back at her life in earlier locales such as Paris and Mallorca. Self Portrait with Black Cat is one of the first of her paintings depicting the famous view across St Ives harbour that Ponckle painted time and time again in subsequent paintings. Both prints may be purchased, along with other prints by Ponckle, in our Prints for Sale page.
