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. Additional shading in fine lines all round the head and in many parts of the background. Long vertical lines are continued past the knee. New shading on the dress beneath the hands. Above and to the left of the chair-back, which is partly worked over and obscured, the shading is carried right up to the edge of the plate.
