Vrouw met gestrekte armen in een landschap before 1916

Adelaide Hanscom Leeson’s *Vrouw met gestrekte armen in een landschap* depicts a woman standing in a field with her arms outstretched towards the sky. The woman's pose, combined with the vast, open landscape and the dramatic clouds above, suggests a sense of freedom and joy. Leeson’s artistic style is characterized by her use of soft lines, subtle shading and atmospheric effects, creating a sense of serenity and wonder. The work is reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, a style that emphasized beauty, nature, and emotion. This charming piece dates before 1916, offering a glimpse into the artist's style and the artistic trends of the time.
