The artwork, titled “Mrs. Ramsey Hunt,” was created by Graham Sutherland in 1959 and is associated with the Expressionism art movement. This portrait captures the essence of the subject through intense, expressive brushwork, characteristic of the genre.
The artwork depicts a distinguished elderly woman with gray hair, styled in soft curls. Her gaze is directed to the right, her expression sober and contemplative, evoking a sense of depth and introspection. She is adorned in a dark, elegant garment accented with a large, green bow-like accessory at the chest. Around her neck is a prominent, rectangular, gold necklace, which further underscores her dignified presence. The background is a muted, textured green, providing a gentle yet striking contrast to the finely detailed subject.
