Zomer 1811 - 1867

"Zomer" (Summer), an 1811-1867 lithograph by Julien-Léopold Boilly, depicts a woman in a flowing dress, her arms outstretched as she seems to float above a field of grass. The delicate lines and shading of the print capture the lightness and airy nature of the season, emphasizing the woman's ethereal beauty. Boilly's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's form against the simple backdrop. This Romantic-era artwork, notable for its graceful composition and evocative imagery, exemplifies Boilly's skill in portraying the beauty of nature and the human form.
