Mrs William Lawrie is a 1891 oil by William McTaggart, a Impressionism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a woman in a white dress, with her arms crossed. She has dark hair and is looking directly at the viewer. The background is a solid brown color. The woman's dress is made of a thick, textured fabric that catches the light. Her face is serious, but there is a hint of a smile in her eyes. The overall effect is one of quiet dignity and strength. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. You can explore more of William McTaggart's work.
