Lancashire Shawls is a 1950 watercolor by William Ainsworth Wildman, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows three women standing side by side, dressed in long coats and shawls. Their faces are blurred, but you can see the folds of their clothing and the way the shawls drape over their shoulders. The background is plain, keeping the focus on the women and their fabrics. The artist paid close attention to the texture of the shawls, making them look almost three-dimensional. The women’s expressions are hidden, but their posture suggests they’re posing together.

The watercolour titled *Lancashire Shawls*, painted by William Ainsworth Wildman in 1950, is signed by the artist.
