Summer 1893

"Summer" is a painting by Thomas Wilmer Dewing, a prominent American artist known for his elegant and dreamy depictions of women. Created in 1893, the artwork captures the essence of a summer day with its soft, ethereal brushstrokes and muted color palette. Two women, dressed in light gowns, stand amidst a lush green landscape, their figures almost blending into the background. The painting evokes a sense of tranquility and contemplation, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the beauty of the natural world. The work is a prime example of Dewing's signature style, characterized by a refined aesthetic and a subtle, almost melancholic mood.
