A Lady in Brown

Artist: John William Waterhouse
Artwork: A Lady in Brown
Description: This painting is an example of Waterhouse’s early work. It was painted in 1878, when he was just 26 years old. The painting depicts a young woman standing in profile, wearing a brown dress. The woman’s face is obscured by her bonnet, but her figure is elegantly rendered. The painting is a study in contrasts: the woman’s dark dress is set against a light background, and her pale skin is contrasted with the rich brown of her dress. The painting is also a study in light and shadow: the woman’s face is in shadow, while her dress is illuminated by the light.
