    Ladies in the Shade Abriès (1912)

    John Singer Sargent (American, 1856-1925)

    Two women rest in dappled sunlight, their white dresses glowing against the deep shadows. Loose brushstrokes suggest a breeze rustling through the trees overhead. The scene hums with quiet warmth—a fleeting afternoon pause.
