Refused
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and evocative painting by the talented British artist Ethel Parkinson, created in 1915. The artwork depicts a young Dutch girl dressed in traditional Dutch attire, standing with her back to an eager suitor. The girl holds a large bouquet of flowers in her left hand, her right hand resting on her hip, as she turns away from him with a disdainful expression on her face. The painting captures the essence of the Netherlands during the early 20th century, with its intricate and colorful traditional costume, which includes a high-necked blouse, a full, voluminous skirt, and a lace apron. The girl's long, dark hair is styled in tight braids, adorned with ribbons and flowers. The setting of the painting is simple yet beautiful, with the girl standing in front of a rustic wooden fence, surrounded by a lush garden filled with vibrant flowers. The colors in the painting are rich and vibrant, with the reds and pinks of the flowers contrasting beautifully with the girl's green dress and the earthy tones of the fence and the background. The title of the painting, "Refused," adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. What could have caused the girl to turn away from her suitor so decisively? Was it a matter of the heart, or was there something more to it? The painting leaves the viewer with many questions, making it a fascinating and thought-provoking work of art. Ethel Parkinson was a prolific painter and illustrator, known for her detailed and realistic depictions of everyday life. "Refused" is just one example of her ability to capture the essence of a moment in time and bring it to life on canvas. This beautiful and intriguing painting is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Netherlands, or for anyone who appreciates the beauty and depth of a well-crafted work of art.
