Mrs. Drummond in a shawl, to the right

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1899

Seated, in three-quarter face to right, with hands clasped on her lap. She wears a black cap and a close-fitting shawl. The background is shaded, heavily at the top, more lightly below. In the first state, the right hand appears to be detached from the arm. In this state, the lower outline of the sleeve and wrist is strengthened to correct this defect. More shading on the right shoulder, below the right arm, and on the knees ; also on the background round the head ; towards the right the shading of the background is lightened.
