Description: | Meditation depicts an attractive young woman, in decorative dress, mirrored by the ornate chair. She appears to daydreaming, or perhaps it is the artist himself who contemplates his subject. Clearly influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites, Edward Hughes painted in a similar style to early Quattrocentro Italian and Flemish artists. Abundant detail, intense colours, and complex compositions were characteristic of early Renaissance and International Gothic painters in the 15th century.
