Label TextEdward Poynter is best known for his large scale classical subject paintings, many of which were exhibited at the Royal Academy. This watercolor is an example of his more relaxed, informal work, created while on holiday. The emphasis of this image is non-narrative, featuring a beautiful woman seated within the exotic flora of the Isle of Wight.
