About this work
A girl in a pale green cardigan and navy pleated skirt hops on one leg across a paved courtyard, arms spread for balance, near a small marker suggesting a game of hopscotch. Behind her stands a pale yellow building with a face glimpsed in one window, a brick archway where a lone figure walks, and two bare young trees behind a low fence, with a black cat crouching near a trunk.
Rendered in translucent watercolor washes of ochre, dusty rose and pale blue, the scene relies on soft, overlapping shadows rather than hard outlines. Long, spidery shadows of bare branches stretch across the paving stones, echoing the girl's own shadow and giving the composition its quiet, autumnal hush.
