At the Gate

5"X7" Oil on panel

This young lady seems to be a kind of "greeter" at Fort George. She must have been standing there for a while, it looks as though her back is killing her as she leans on the massive latch of the old studded gate. I don't envy these young people in their authentic costumes (100% wool and many layers), although they have been lucky so far this year, the weather has been quite cool
