Tess

About this work

In this painting, a woman stands in a field of tall grass, surrounded by trees and a few cows. She wears a white dress and hat, and holds a metal pail in her right hand. The scene is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the textures of the grass, trees, and clothing. The woman's pose and expression suggest a sense of quiet contemplation, as if she is lost in thought. The surrounding environment is peaceful, with the cows grazing calmly in the background. This painting, titled "Tess," is held at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
