About the piece

Painted in 1908, this work by Arthur Bowen Davies captures a rhythmic, almost mystical scene typical of his Symbolist style. A group of women in classical-leaning attire pose against a backdrop of a deep blue harbor where a large white-sailed schooner drifts past distant hills, blending figurative grace with a nautical atmosphere.
