THE WOOD NYMPH

BY CECIL FRENCH

The hand-coloured illustration is centered on the page, unframed. The image is outlined in thick black lines, and coloured in shades of brown and green. In the image stands a curving tree with interlacing branches, rootes, and green leaves. A naked female figure with pale green skin and darker green hair faces the tree, as if to enter it. Her face is turned back to the viewer. The artist’s monogram is in the bottom left corner.
