Nelson Shanks' 2009-2011 portrait of Renée Fleming, a renowned American soprano, depicts the singer in a flowing green gown standing in a shallow body of water. The background suggests an evening setting with a night sky filled with stars and a subtle glow of light on the horizon. The painting showcases Shanks' signature realist style, capturing the details of Fleming's features and the textures of her dress with remarkable accuracy. The overall impression is one of serenity and grace, reflecting Fleming's artistry as a singer.
