The princess out of school 1901

Edward Robert Hughes's "The Princess out of School" (1901) depicts a young woman in a forest setting, likely a princess, with long flowing hair, dressed in opulent clothing. Her gaze is directed at a small pool of water, and her thoughtful expression suggests a moment of contemplation. Hughes, known for his Pre-Raphaelite style, captures the beauty of nature and the emotions of the sitter through meticulous brushstrokes and vibrant colours. The painting evokes a sense of escape and tranquility, a contrast between the grandeur of her attire and the serenity of her surroundings.
