Early Morning - Summertime 1920

Rose O'Neill's "Early Morning - Summertime" (1920) depicts a woman in a loose-fitting, light-colored robe, seated on a patterned chair with a fan resting on her lap. The artist's use of soft, pastel tones, characteristic of her Impressionistic style, creates a sense of tranquility and serenity. The painting conveys a sense of peaceful contemplation, capturing the quiet intimacy of a summer morning. The background features a window with a view of leafy branches, adding to the feeling of nature's calmness. O'Neill's signature depiction of feminine grace and ethereal beauty is present in the composition, making it a cherished work in the genre of portraiture.
