Girl with Pink Bow 1905

"Girl with Pink Bow" is a 1905 oil painting by American artist Frank W. Benson (1862-1951). Benson's work often featured children in idyllic settings, and this piece is no exception. The painting depicts a young girl with a pink bow in her hair, standing outdoors and looking directly at the viewer. The girl's white dress and the soft light create a sense of innocence and purity, typical of the Impressionist style of the period. The artist uses loose brushstrokes and a limited palette of colors, capturing the natural light and the girl's simple beauty in a painterly fashion.
