About the Item

This delicate watercolor, attributed to American artist Francis Coates Jones, captures a peaceful moment of femininity and leisure. A young woman in a soft white gown is seated on a rustic bench beneath a tree, gently playing a lute. Her relaxed posture and serene expression suggest a private reverie, while nearby, her wide-brimmed hat and pink ribbons add a graceful charm. The blossoms and gently fading background of water and distant hills evoke a feeling of early spring, when the air is cool and clear. Jones, best known for his refined depictions of women in romantic and classical settings, brings a sense of poise and lyricism to this composition. The palette is light and airy, perfectly suited to the watercolor medium. This painting comes unsigned with frame in excellent condition.
