Portrait of a Young Woman

Date created: c.1875

circa 1875-78

This painting was discovered on the BBC television programme 'The Antiques Roadshow'. At the Coalville show (26 March 1998), Peter Nahum identified a portrait of a woman in a red dress (complete with a glaring hole in the canvas) as an early Waterhouse painting. It was subsequently included in Peter Trippi's recent Waterhouse monograph.
