About this work
A young girl in a green pom-pom hat and fur-collared winter coat stands among bare trees and snowdrifts, an apple with a bite taken from it held up in her hand. Four bullfinches with rose-red breasts appear around her, one perched on her hat, others gliding through the snowy woodland, while dried rose hips poke through the snow at her feet.
Soft washes of sage green, dusty pink and pale grey render the winter scene in delicate, transparent layers typical of watercolor, with fine dry-brush detail in the birds' feathers and the girl's face. The muted, misty light and quiet pose give the image a gentle, storybook stillness.
