Girls lightened by sun 1901

"Girls Lightened by Sun" is a 1901 oil painting by Russian artist Vladimir Makovsky, renowned for his depictions of everyday life. The painting portrays two young girls, likely sisters, dressed in traditional garb, with floral crowns adorning their heads. One girl sits intently, reading a book while the other looks off into the distance, perhaps lost in thought. The use of warm colors and natural light creates a peaceful atmosphere, inviting viewers to appreciate the simple beauty of the scene.
