1919
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Margaret Nash is a 1919 watercolor by Paul Nash, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a close-up portrait of a woman with a smooth, rounded hairdo pulled tight to her head. Her face is plain but clear, with a neutral expression and a simple necklace of small green beads. The background is faint and blurry, like a cityscape or buildings, but it’s not the focus. The artist used soft watercolors, keeping the colors muted and the lines gentle. The face stands out against the lighter, sketchy background. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this portrait in person.
