May, daughter of Brigadier General Andrew, CMG. is a 1925 oil by Annie Elizabeth Kelly, held at Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair, wearing a gold dress. The woman's dark hair is styled in a bob, and she has her hands clasped in her lap. The dress has a V-neck and thin straps, and the woman wears a necklace. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the woman and her dress stand out. The woman's face is painted with soft, gentle features. Her eyes are cast downward, and her mouth is set in a neutral expression. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation.
