About the piece
Painted in 1911, Frank Weston Benson's 'Summer Day' is a quintessential example of American Impressionism. The work depicts two elegantly dressed figures gazing out at sailboats under a sun-drenched sky, executed with the artist's signature loose, light-filled brushwork that emphasizes atmosphere and movement.
