A Convent Garden by William John Leech circa 1913. This painting depicts Nun’s in the walled garden of the Nun’s hospital and convent. The main figure is wearing the Breton bridal costume traditionally worn by novices on the day they took their final vows. Leech’s love of sunlight and pattern are on display in this painting and there is a sense of peace and warmth that emanates from the canvas.
