About this work

A woman in a flowing white dress sits on a grassy bank by a river. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she looks straight ahead with a calm face. The background is soft and blurry, with trees and hills fading into the distance. The artist used light colors and gentle brushstrokes to keep the focus on her. The scene feels peaceful, almost dreamy. Look up Edridge, Henry RA next to see more of his work.
