About the piece
Painted in 1900, 'Sunlight' is a quintessential example of Frank Weston Benson's mastery of American Impressionism. The work captures a woman in a flowing white gown on a windswept cliff, her figure brilliantly illuminated against a vibrant blue sky and sea. Benson's loose, confident brushwork and high-keyed palette evoke the warmth and breezy atmosphere of a summer day on the New England coast.
