The Grey Dress

Walter Richard Sickert 1860 - 1942

Summary

A full length portrait of a young woman in a grey dress, with a long sleeved jacket and black collar, and her hair up. She is seen from the left side, turning away from the viewer with her head tilted slightly to the left. She stands against a plain pale background. The heavy use of paint gives the work a textured surface.
