Month of Mary 1893

"Month of Mary" is an oil painting by Joan Brull from 1893. It depicts four young girls decorating a framed image of the Virgin Mary with flowers in a domestic setting. The scene evokes a sense of reverence and piety, a common theme in Brull's work. The girls' careful attention to detail and the abundance of flowers create a visually appealing and sentimental composition. The painting's realistic style and attention to light and shadow reflect Brull's mastery of academic realism.
