Artwork Description

Quiet contemplation is reflections from within the Beechworth women’s asylum. It captures a forlorn enclosure with a ray of light and hope coming from the one solitary window.
The edges of this painting are finished in brown earth tones and it comes with professional wire hanger and a Certificate of Authenticity.
