The bigger painting of which this is a part is one of my all-time favorites! Lori, the print I have in what used to be Hannah and Sarah's room is a hand-me-down from you, I think. I love it so much. I can gaze at it indefinitely, but the colors are quite faded, and I have wondered how glorious it would be with the original color. This one you posted is brilliant with color!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely find this one breath-taking. And to make sure I'm clear, this is a separate painting that he did in preparation for Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose. He also did one of Polly, Dorothy's sister. Here is the link to the article: http://www.studiorousar.com/2013/09/15/mr-sargent-and-the-flower-children/ Really interesting! you might have to copy and paste the link. And, yes, I did hand down the larger painting, always one of my favorites!
