At the Fountain 1890

Theodore Robinson's "At the Fountain" from 1890 portrays a young woman in a garden setting, likely a rural scene, near a fountain. The woman, dressed in a simple white blouse and blue skirt, stands near a stone fountain with two watering cans. Robinson's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth, capturing the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees and illuminating the scene. This Impressionist work, characterized by its loose brushstrokes and focus on light and atmosphere, captures the tranquility of a summer afternoon. The artist's attention to detail in the woman's figure and the garden setting adds to the overall realism and charm of the painting.
