    Berthe Morisot (French, 1841–1895)

    A woman reclines in a rowboat, her dress pooling around her as sunlight dances on the lake’s surface. The water holds her reflection loosely, like a thought about to slip away. Oars rest idle—no hurry, no destination. Just the quiet ripple of time passing.

    Jasper Francis Cropsey (American, 1823–1900)

    Golden leaves blaze against the water’s edge, their fiery reflection rippling in the cool lake. A crisp breeze rustles through the trees, carrying the scent of damp earth and fallen foliage. The scene hums with quiet energy—nature’s fleeting brilliance before winter’s hush.
