"A Quiet Consort" is a hyperrealistic painting by Mary Jane Ansell. The work features a young woman with her hair styled in a bun. Her profile is turned to the viewer, while a large butterfly rests on her shoulder. The painting's subtle palette emphasizes the woman's smooth skin and the delicate wings of the butterfly. The artwork is reminiscent of the "New Realism" style, which emerged in the 1960s and emphasizes meticulously detailed representations of contemporary life. Ansell's contemporary approach to realism is evident in the painting's sharp focus and realistic depiction of the subject matter.
