About the piece
Painted in 1890, 'Summer' is an exquisite example of American Impressionist Frank Weston Benson’s ability to capture light and atmosphere. The work depicts a young woman draped in a fluttering purple shawl, her figure centered between two saplings against a soft, sun-lit sky. Benson’s loose, painterly brushstrokes and bright palette perfectly evoke the warmth and movement of a quiet afternoon in the countryside.
