1920s

  • Her Leisure Hour (ca. 1925)

    Her Leisure Hour (ca. 1925)

    Irving Ramsay Wiles (American, 1861–1948)

    A woman lounges in quiet repose, sunlight draping her form. The folds of her dress pool around her, soft against the chair. A book rests forgotten in her lap—distracted or simply lost in thought. The room hums with unspoken stillness, that rare pause between one moment and the next.

  • Afternoon Tea (1925)

    Afternoon Tea (1925)

    Harrison Fisher (American, 1875–1934)

    A woman in 1920s elegance leans forward, her gloved fingers poised above the teacup. The saucer catches a sliver of light as her companion’s laughter hangs just beyond the frame. Lace curtains stir—someone left the window open. The scene hums with unspoken words and cooling tea.

  • Festivities in the campagna (1920)

    Festivities in the campagna (1920)

    Raffaello Sorbi (Italian, 1844–1931)

    Laughter spills across the sunlit field, skirts swirling as villagers dance. A fiddler leans into his tune while children dart between tables laden with food. The air hums with celebration—a fleeting snapshot of joy in the Italian countryside.
