About the piece

Painted in 1913, George Bellows' 'A Day in June' captures a lively social gathering in a New York City park. The work exemplifies the Ashcan School artist's shift toward more colorful, high-contrast compositions, where brilliant figures in summer whites are set against the deep, atmospheric shadows of towering trees. It is a masterful study of light, movement, and early 20th-century American life.
