An Outcast 1910

"An Outcast" (1910) by Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale depicts a woman, cloaked in brown and red, carrying a small child in her arms. The woman, seemingly ostracized, is walking through a snow-covered landscape towards a distant castle. The scene likely reflects a narrative of social exclusion or a story of hardship. Fortescue-Brickdale was known for her detailed and evocative illustrations, often depicting women and children in poignant and emotionally charged scenes. The artwork's soft colors and delicate brushwork create a sense of empathy and pathos, engaging viewers in a story of societal rejection.
