This watercolour is titled Design for a screen. It was created by the English artist Percy Wyndham Lewis. The screen that these designs were made for was first shown at the opening of the Omega Workshops in 1913. This gives us a sense of the context in which the design was created. To learn more about the techniques used in this period, look up the technique of sfumato.
