Spring 1890

"Spring" (1890), by American artist Thomas Wilmer Dewing, depicts a serene landscape with two women in the foreground, one holding a basket of flowers. The scene, bathed in a soft, ethereal light, evokes a sense of peace and tranquility, characteristic of Dewing's aesthetic. The artist's signature use of muted colors and delicate brushstrokes, combined with the graceful figures and the idyllic setting, creates a harmonious and dreamlike atmosphere, reflecting the beauty and renewal of the season. The presence of a group of figures in the background adds a touch of movement and narrative to the composition, further enhancing the overall sense of the artwork.
