A quietly introspective oil painting on wood, signed and dated C.E. Howson, 1899, portraying a seated young figure wrapped in a rich red shawl. The palette is earthy and subdued—soft browns, greys, and muted greens evoke a natural, perhaps woodland setting. Executed with delicate realism, the artist demonstrates a keen sensitivity to posture and expression. The signature “C.E. Howson. 1899.” anchors the work in the late Victorian period. Brimming with charm, it’s sure to stand out beautifully in any room.
