Study No. 4: Waiting by John Copley. Black and white artwork of a woman sitting at a table with two candlesticks. The woman wears a hat with a wide brim and a striped cardigan. The table is round and dark with a bowl and cloth on the left side. The candlesticks are tall and slender with unlit white candles. The background is dark and shadowy. The artwork is signed in the bottom right corner. The woman sits with her hands folded in front of her. Her facial expression appears contemplative or melancholic. The overall atmosphere of the artwork is somber. The image is rendered in a realistic style.
