Philip Evergood

Virginia in the Grotto
1960

An expressive painting depicting a woman in a flowing red dress standing amidst a whimsical, abstract landscape. Her gaze is directed to the side as she gracefully touches her shoulder with one hand. The background features a blend of soft colors and a swan-like figure, while the foreground is adorned with colorful, stylized sea creatures and symbols. The artwork has a dreamlike, surreal quality.
