Esther Kenworthy Waterhouse

Hello everyone! My name is Isabella, and I'm so excited to explore this amazing painting with you all today! nn We're looking at a painting called "Esther Kenworthy Waterhouse." It was painted a long, long time ago, back in 1885, by an artist named John William Waterhouse. He loved to paint pictures of people, especially women! nn Can you point to the woman in the painting? What do you notice about her?



That's right! She's wearing a very elegant dress and a big, beautiful hat. Do you think she's going to a party? nn Mr. Waterhouse was very good at using light and shadow in his paintings. See how the light shines on the lady's face and the ribbon on her hat? It makes her look very special, don't you think? nn He also paid close attention to every tiny detail, like the folds in her dress and the feathers on her hat. He wanted everything to look perfect, just like a photograph! nn This painting tells us a little bit about what life was like back in the 1800s. It's like taking a peek into the past! nn What do you think the woman in the painting is thinking about? Let's use our imaginations and come up with a story about her!
