Label TextMost of what survives of Winifred Sandys’ work is in miniature format, at which she excelled. This image is a replica of a full sized work of the same title by her father, illustrating a ghostly character from Sir Walter Scott's The Monastery. Winifred Sandys' recreation of the subject is executed in exquisite detail. It is even more wondrous for its execution in watercolor on vellum in miniature.
