Pictures by J.W. Waterhouse

 

Windflowers

Date: 1903
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 45 x 31 in



Waterhouse painted a series of paintings showing girls in windswept landscapes. Other examples are the recently rediscovered Boreas, and the currently unlocated March Winds.

This picture was lampooned by Punch in 1903 who retitled it "Keeping her Hair on".
