EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting, titled "The Cross of Gold," dates back to circa 1918 and is a beautiful addition to any art collection. The painting depicts a travelling woman dressed in green and brown robes, delicately picking up a golden cross that has fallen on the pathway before her. The intricate details of the woman's flowing robes and the intricately textured pathway are brought to life through the artist's skilled use of watercolor. The woman's expression is one of deep contemplation, as if she has stumbled upon a significant discovery. The golden cross, lying on the ground, adds an air of mystery and spiritual significance to the scene. The muted greens and browns of the woman's robes and the natural surroundings create a sense of harmony and connection to the earth. This painting is from the March of the Women Collection, a series of illustrations published in a magazine called "The Sphere" in August 1918. The collection was created by the renowned British artist Alexander Warren Dow, who was known for his detailed and evocative watercolor paintings. The collection captured the spirit of the suffragette movement and the role of women in society during that time. The "Cross of Gold" painting is a testament to Dow's artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. It is a timeless piece that speaks to the human experience and the power of discovery. Whether displayed in a home or office, this painting is sure to inspire reflection and contemplation for years to come.
