Description:
'It was probably at Etaples that Barry painted this painting, in 1887. The painting shows an elderly peasant woman in a woodland glade beside a river. The subject and the title of the picture suggest the theme of youth and age. The picture is similar to many plein air scenes of the period. But the golden tonality suggests nostalgia for the woods and estuary at Fota, and Barry uses an original dappled style to convey sunshine.'(www.whytes.ie)Role:
