Myrrhine is a 1873 watercolor by Edith Martineau, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman with her hair pulled back and a serious look on her face. She’s wearing a light-colored dress that looks soft and flowing. In her hand, she holds a small branch with green leaves and purple flowers. The background has faint sketches of people, almost like a ghostly outline. The artist used watercolor and scratching techniques to create texture. Check out the technique: watercolor, glazing to see how artists build depth with layers.
