books0977:Windflowers (Windswept) (1903). John William Waterhouse (English, 1849-1917). Oil on canvas.A carefully-crafted full-length portrait of a woman in long, loose dress, the subject is seen struggling with the wind which flusters her hair and clothing, whilst she clings onto her recently collected flowers. For several years the artist had been interested in depicting nature within his work and also the impact of wind across the scene. Windflowers was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1903. -- source link
