Description
Religiously themed work by British artist Winifred Knights (1899-1947), painted c.1928-33. The often-overlooked Knights was a unique voice in early 20th century British painting, drawing on early Italian Renaissance painting for influence, and living in Rome for five years from 1920. A tall and striking-looking woman, Knights is also remembered for her distinctive dress, a stylised version of nineteenth century Italian peasant costume characterised by a loose ankle-length skirt, plain buttoned blouse, wide brimmed black hat and coral necklace and earrings. She often portrayed herself wearing her 'peasant' outfit in her own paintings, though not in this one.
