Hamish Paterson, Portrait Of A Lady With A Red Coat

Hamish Paterson, Portrait Of A Lady With A Red CoatA charming mid century portrait of a woman in a red coat with a large rose by Scottish artist, Hamish Constable Paterson (1890 1955). Often the beauty of art is held within the eye of the beholder and this portrait is a good example of how an expression can be interpreted in many different ways. What do you see when you look into her eyes? Shyness? Loss? Excitement even? Perhaps our unique perception tells us more about ourselves than the sitter.
