Boreas

1902

Called Boreas after the north wind in Greek mythology, the work shows a young girl in a windswept landscape. In 1904 the Royal Academy notes described the subject as: "In wind-blown draperies of slate-colour and blue, a girl passes through a spring landscape accented by pink blossom and daffodils".

Boreas was put up for sale in the mid-1990s after having been lost for 90 years - causing quite a sensation in the art community.
