Artist, British, 1895 - 1973

The image depicts a seated woman from the upper body to the hands. She is positioned with her arms resting on a surface in front of her and her hands clasped together. Her head is slightly turned to the side, with her eyes closed and a calm facial expression. The woman has short, neatly combed hair with strands framing her face. She is wearing a garment that resembles a cloak or shawl over a simple top. A detailed necklace hangs around her neck with a chain and pendant. The background is plain, with no additional elements or scenery present, focusing attention on the subject.
