Scene with an overall brown/rust tone of a female figure seated in front of a book perhaps, reading, her head is slightly turned to the left.“The only known watercolour portrait by Collings, this affectionate study focuses on the torso of an older woman, her head bent to read a book and her face mild and composed.
