Reverie

Marcus Stone R.A. 1840 - 1921

Summary

Full length figure subject of a young woman in white dress with a dark hat and adorned with flowers in her hair, sitting on the banks of a river daydreaming. She looks directly at the viewer and as such ambiguity is established over who is daydreaming; the viewer or the subject. The river meanders around to the right in the background, with a gently sloping meadow in the distance on the opposite bank, beneath a pale moon.
