From the collection of Ashmolean Museum
Little Red Riding Hood is a 1864 oil by George Frederic Watts, a British Romanticism work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
The painting shows a young girl with blonde hair and a red hooded cloak. She is looking directly at the viewer with a serious expression. The background is dark, which makes the girl stand out. The girl's face is painted in detail, with a subtle smile and big eyes. Her hair is curly and falls down her back. The red cloak is draped around her shoulders, and it's the brightest color in the painting. This painting is a great example of George Frederic Watts' work.
George Frederic Watts (23 February 1817 – 1 July 1904) was a British painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement.
