About the piece
Painted in 1891 by Edward Atkinson Hornel, 'Summer' is a quintessential example of the Glasgow Boys' innovative and decorative approach. The work depicts two young girls amidst a sunlit forest, surrounded by grazing cows, using a rich, impasto technique that creates a jewel-like mosaic of color and light. The interplay of vibrant blues and warm, earthy tones makes this a captivating and joyful addition to a traditional or eclectic interior.
