Back View Of A Young Woman In Profile With A Bouquet Of Roses In Her Hands

Eduard Veith (Austrian, 1858–1925)

A young woman turns away, her profile softened by the glow of roses cradled in her hands. The flowers spill over, petals brushing her sleeves, their deep reds whispering against the quiet backdrop. She doesn’t face us—only the curve of her neck, the tilt of her head, as if listening to something just out of sight.

Charles Amable Lenoir (French, 1860–1926)

The Three Marys (ca. 1906–1911)

Edwin Austin Abbey (American, 1852–1911)

Sir John Lavery (Irish, 1856–1941)

A woman in a brown dress gazes past the frame, her expression unreadable. Soft brushstrokes blur the background, pulling focus to the quiet intensity in her eyes. The folds of her dress catch the light, hinting at movement just paused. There’s a story here, half-told.
Daydreams

Conrad Kiesel (German, 1846–1921)

William Oliver (English, 1804–1853)

A young woman perches on a marble seat, her gaze steady and unreadable. The cool stone contrasts with the warmth of her presence, the folds of her dress hinting at a quiet tension. There’s something unresolved in her stillness—neither waiting nor leaving, just existing in that exact moment.
The Sleeping Beauty (1921)

John Collier (English, 1850–1934)

Jeanne Fourmanoir sur le lac (1892)

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.
