Description
A young woman sits in a golden wicker armchair at the edge of a beach, turning to look directly out at the viewer beneath a dark blue bonnet trimmed with white lace. Her navy jacket is set off by a full ruffle of white lace at the collar, and in her lap she holds a length of pale fabric or needlework, her fingers resting lightly on it.
Behind her, sandy cliffs rise up in warm ochre and rust tones on the left, while the sea opens out on the right in bands of blue-green, dotted with tiny white sailboats near the horizon. Painted in 1883, the contrast between her dark, formal dress and the sunlit, breezy coastline gives the picture a lovely sense of a quiet seaside pause.
The warm wicker chair and cool sea tones make this an especially satisfying print on canvas, where the texture holds up beautifully close or from across a room. Offered in multiple sizes, ready to hang.
