Nell
This is Kathleen's friend - Nell.
This blue-eyed blonde has also been painted by my friend -Di Yunnie.
Nell is dressed in a simple, peasant-style costume of skirt, gathered blouse and waistcoat.
The skirt is of navy blue cotton, which is sprigged with pink roses and tiny white flowers. A row of white lace around the hem is edged with navy blue braid.
The white cotton blouse is gathered around the neckline by a blue drawstring. The puffed sleeves are gathered at the elbow with a lace frill.
Over the blouse, she wears a tight fitting navy velvet waistcoat, which is tightly laced to show off her small waistline.
The petticoat underneath is of white cotton, trimmed with lace and an embroidered rosebud.
To protect her complexion from the sun, she has a pink straw hat trimmed with white silk ribbon and pink and white flowers.
