She Shall be Called Woman is a 1890 oil by George Frederic Watts, a Symbolism work, held at National Gallery.
The painting depicts a woman with long, flowing hair and a white dress, surrounded by flowers and foliage. Her face is serene, with her eyes cast downward. The background is a warm, golden color, with hints of blue and green. The woman's pose and expression convey a sense of quiet contemplation, as if lost in thought. The surrounding flowers and foliage add a sense of natural beauty and tranquility to the scene. This painting is reminiscent of the work of George Frederic Watts, known for his use of chiaroscuro and impasto techniques to create rich, textured images.
George Frederic Watts (23 February 1817 – 1 July 1904) was a British painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement.
