A solitary ramble 1888

"A Solitary Ramble" is a watercolor painting by Australian artist Julian Ashton, completed in 1888. It depicts a woman in a long dress and a coat walking along a path in a field, holding a parasol. The painting captures a serene moment of solitude, with the woman's figure dwarfed by the vastness of the landscape. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, and the details of the woman's clothing and the surrounding vegetation create a sense of realism. Ashton was a prominent figure in Australian art, known for his realistic depictions of everyday life. This watercolor is a fine example of his style and showcases his keen observation of nature and the human figure.
