About the Item

Standing Lady is an original watercolour by British artist, illustrator and author Charlie Mackesy. This vintage watercolour is signed and dated 1986 in pencil. The painting depicts a poised female figure in a flowing white dress and a broad sunhat, captured in a graceful, almost sculptural stance. The cool, airy washes of pale blues and crisp whites evoke a sunlit atmosphere, while delicate browns and peach tones define the hat brim, sleeves, and feet, giving the figure a subtle three‑dimensional presence. The background remains deliberately restrained, with a dark, rectangular silhouette that anchors the sitter and enhances the sense of daylight and movement. Throughout his career, Charlie Mackesy has explored a variety of themes through his art, including Jazz, Musicians, the Prodigals, Angels, and studies of people from life.
