cat 14
A woman seen from behind and to one side, arm raised to her hair, wearing a necklace, bangles and an armlet, with a red wrap falling across the hip.
A narrow upright page, the figure filling it and cropped at the head and the calf. The ground is divided warm at the right and cool at the left, with a passage of blue water running across the bottom.
Umber, ochre and sienna through the ground against flesh in bone and pale rose. The wrap is a strong crimson and the only saturated colour; the hair and the skirt are near-black, and the water below is cobalt.
Worked densely and opaquely for watercolour — the back and raised arm are built up pale over the dark ground rather than reserved, and the jewellery is drawn in fine dark strokes over dry paint at the end.
Watercolour on sketchbook paper, carried opaquely in the figure.
No signature visible within the painted area.
