About the piece

Painted in 1899 by Frank Weston Benson, this masterpiece of American Impressionism captures the artist's daughters on a bright summer day in North Haven, Maine. The work is celebrated for its flickering dabs of vibrant color and the masterful depiction of midday light reflecting off the coastal water and the girls' dresses.
