About this work

You see a woman sitting in a small boat, surrounded by calm water and trees. The woman is waiting, and the title "Patience" suggests she's been there a while. This painting is interesting because it shows a quiet moment in everyday life, and the hand-colored etching gives it a soft, gentle feel. Check out the work of artist: Rowlandson, Thomas.
