The painting "A Windy Day" by Sir John Lavery, painted around 1908, shows a woman walking against the wind along the coastline. The woman, dressed in a long white dress and a large hat, is accompanied by a small Jack Russell terrier. The wind blows her dress and hat backwards, emphasising the dynamics and movement of the scene. The sea can be seen in the background, with waves crashing against the shore and a ship sailing in the distance.
Lavery's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail, bring the figures and surroundings to life. The composition exudes a sense of freedom and energy, befitting the windy conditions on the coast.
John Lavery (Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom 2 March 1856 - Kilkenny, Ireland, 10 January 1941) was an Irish painter, best known for his aestheticist portraits.
