About this objectBorn in Birkenhead in 1860, Philip Wilson Steer was one of the foremost progressive painters in Britain during his generation. Steer looked to France and the impressionist styles for his earlier works, but this painting showcases a higher degree of finish - taking inspiration from a more traditional, Victorian depiction of his female subject.
