De Côte

*De Côte* (2024), a watercolour by Elspeth Lamb, depicts two stylized female figures with pale, mask-like faces and rounded, geometric bodies rendered in flat blocks of colour. The figure on the left wears a crimson dress with pointed ballet slippers and a blue puffed sleeve, while the figure on the right wears a costume of teal, coral, and green with two yellow-circle motifs on the bodice and tiered scalloped and dotted patterning below the waist. The background is divided into flat panels of pink, teal, lavender, and green, giving the composition a bold, patterned, theatrical quality.
