A medieval style figurative illustration executed in watercolour and ink on paper. The composition depicts a female figure in a profile stance, wearing a long blue gown with hanging liripipe-style sleeves and a white hood or wimple. She is positioned between two stone pillars decorated with climbing roses and lupin-like flowers, set upon a cobbled path featuring a small animal? in the foreground. The work is rendered in a whimsical illustrative style consistent with mid-20th-century book art. A signature and date are located in the lower right corner, reading T. P. KERR, 1943. The painting is presented within a sage green mat and a wooden frame with a gold-toned inner slip.
