Synopsis

A woman, in a black dress with bare feet, presses herself into a sofa. Her posture is cowered, and her arms are crossed across her chest protectively. One leg is drawn up against her body, as if in pain, and there's a deep frown line down the centre of her forehead. In her hands, she clutches a brown piece of rubber that loops between her legs. Her face is blank, and she hugs the rubber tightly, as if trying to wrap herself in it.

This picture is from artist Dame Paula Rego's Depression Series of works on paper, which is on show for the first time at London's Marlborough Fine Art gallery to coincide with the screening of a BBC documentary made by her son Nick Willing about her life.
