Girl in Yellow Sweater 1936

"Girl in Yellow Sweater" is a 1936 painting by Canadian artist Prudence Heward, known for her portraits and landscapes. The painting depicts a young woman, seated against a backdrop of stylized rolling hills and a bare-branched tree, symbolizing the transition between seasons. Heward's use of thick impasto and bold colours creates a sense of depth and texture, characteristic of her style. The woman's contemplative expression adds a layer of introspection to the piece, inviting viewers to consider her inner thoughts and the beauty of the natural world surrounding her.
