'Evening Quiet': a woman leans against a balustrade, pensively playing with a ring on her finger, a pose reminiscent of Italian Renaissance portraits. We believe this is a pre publication proof as it does not have the Printsellers' Stamp. It comes from a collection of Solvin proofs (Paris) The model for the oil (pained 1893 and now in the Tate, N05176) is belived to be Elizabeth Keene.
