Miss Thea Proctor 1903

George Washington Lambert’s 1903 oil painting, “Miss Thea Proctor”, depicts a portrait of a young woman in a stylish black dress, adorned with white polka dots. The subject is seated with her hands folded in her lap, wearing a black hat with a white feather. The background is a soft blend of light blues and browns, suggesting a hazy outdoor scene. Lambert's painting is a prime example of the Australian Impressionist style, known for its loose brushwork and focus on capturing the essence of light and atmosphere.
