Summer 1890

Thomas Wilmer Dewing's "Summer" (1890) is a captivating portrayal of femininity and grace. Five figures, dressed in flowing gowns, are depicted in a verdant meadow with one woman playing a harp. The soft, muted tones of the painting create a sense of ethereal beauty, characteristic of Dewing's style. The gentle movement of the figures and the delicate details of their attire evoke a feeling of serenity and timeless elegance. This artwork is a testament to Dewing's mastery of capturing the essence of beauty and the fleeting nature of summer.
