Sheherazade

A watercolour of a curving red-walled canal or pool, painted in flat washes of gold, teal, and pink; a red-domed pavilion and a tree with round red foliage stand in the upper landscape against pale mountains and sky. In the foreground a bald figure in a pink dress leans against a pale turquoise, coral-like branching form rising from the water, while two smaller pink- and red-gowned figures sit together at the water's edge. Elspeth Lamb, "Sheherazade," 2023, watercolour.
