This painting shows two women in an art studio. One stands at an easel, painting a sketch of birds on paper. The other sits with her back to us, holding a brush and a palette. The room has red walls, a small table with a vase, and a few framed drawings on the wall. The women’s clothes look old-fashioned, and the studio feels cozy but messy. The artist used soft watercolors, keeping the colors light and natural. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
