About this work

This watercolour painting depicts a woman in profile, facing left. She wears a white dress with a blue collar and a brown shawl draped over her arms. A black hat with a blue band and a yellow accent adorns her head. The background is a plain off-white colour. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal or elegant setting, possibly from the early 20th century. The artist's use of watercolour creates a soft, delicate effect.
