This watercolor shows a woman sitting on a chair, dressed in a dark dress with a high collar and a lace-trimmed cap. Her hands rest on a light-colored shawl draped over her lap. The background is simple, with a faint suggestion of a wall and some fabric. The painting is soft and blurry, with gentle shading that makes her face look calm. The artist used watercolors, which keeps the colors muted and the edges a little fuzzy. Next, look up Kenneth Macleay to see more of his work.
