A Lady is a 1898 oil by John William Godward, a Art Nouveau work, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
This painting depicts a woman with long, curly red hair and a gold headband. She is wearing a white dress with a blue floral pattern and has her right arm resting on her lap. The woman's face is blurred, but her eyes are looking upwards. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the woman's features stand out. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and dimension. If you're interested in learning more about this technique, you can explore the works of artist John William Godward.
John William Godward (9 August 1861 – 13 December 1922) was an English painter from the end of the Neo-Classicist era. He was a protégé of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, but his style of painting fell out of favour with the rise of modern art.
