EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative watercolour painting, titled 'Black Cloaked Woman,' captures the enigmatic figure of an older woman, seemingly lost in slumber as she leans against a weathered wall. The woman, dressed in a voluminous black cloaked gown and matching hat, is adorned with vibrant green and purple feathers. The date of this work is estimated to be around 1918, a time of great social and political change. The woman's peaceful expression and the tranquil setting of the painting, with its simple pot of flowers, create a sense of stillness and introspection. The use of rich, earthy tones in the painting adds to the overall mood, evoking a sense of timelessness and mystery. This beautiful watercolour painting is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The Collection is a treasure trove of historical images, and this particular painting is a striking example of the artistic talent and social commentary of the time. The image was published in a volume of a popular magazine, likely August, though the exact publication is unknown. The black cloak and hat of the woman in the painting are reminiscent of the traditional attire of mourning or religious figures, adding to the intrigue and allure of the painting. The use of such a dramatic and symbolic costume in a seemingly mundane setting further highlights the enigmatic nature of the woman and the painting as a whole. This watercolour painting is a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the human experience.
