Orcella

Gerald Leslie Brockhurst (English, 1890-1978) – Orcella, 1915 (Oil on panel) - The young, fair-haired woman with a delicate red blouse and finely-embroidered black dress points to the landscape in the background. The position of the index finger indicates a separation between a withered tree on one side and a blooming wisteria tree on the other. She turns away from the pointing finger and reaffirms her belonging to the living things around her.
