Victorian Interior II is among Horace Pippin's later works. It was painted in 1945, just a year before the artist died.

Pippin's self-taught, folk art style comes through beautifully in this piece: the bright hues of the rug, books, vases, and bouquet, the flat shapes of the furniture, and the simple straightforward perspective.

Here we see a room in near-perfect balance. A table with a bouquet sits front and center, flanked by chairs and small furniture. Two artworks hang on opposite sides of the canvas. Though Pippin was known for expressive paintings that critiqued war and sociopolitical injustice, he also created these calm interior worlds. Scenes like these seem to represent an ideal world Pippin envisioned—one of inviting tranquility and colorful harmony.
