Vespers

George Hitchcock

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a woman from behind, wearing a blue dress and a floral-patterned cape or shawl over it, with a white head covering. The woman's head covering has white flowers on it and hangs down her back. The woman is standing on a dirt path with grass and fallen leaves on either side. There is a white fence to the left, with trees and a windmill beyond it. In the background to the right, there are more trees and a house with an orange roof. The painting's title, "Vespers", and artist, George Hitchcock, are associated with this image.
