Truth Lies at the Bottom of the Well 1915

"Truth Lies at the Bottom of the Well" is a haunting 1915 watercolor by Scottish artist Frances Macdonald, known for her contributions to the Glasgow Style movement. The artwork depicts a mysterious scene with a lone woman lying at the bottom of a well, surrounded by three veiled figures, each with their fingers pressed to their lips. The figures are rendered with a ghostly, ethereal quality, creating a sense of secrecy and unspoken truths. Macdonald's signature style, characterized by elongated figures and flowing lines, adds to the dreamlike atmosphere of the piece.
