About the piece

Painted in 1874 by American artist Eastman Johnson, this scene captures a woman in a striking black silhouette and a red-trimmed straw hat amidst a pastoral landscape. Set against the soft, hazy blues of the Nantucket coastline, the work exemplifies Johnson's refined ability to blend genre subjects with an atmospheric, light-filled environment.
