Wow, what an incredible painting! I’ve never seen it before nor even heard of it before. It raises so many different musings. Even the name is mysterious and evocative. Why is the pretty young lass in the beautiful diaphanous “dress”? Why did she fall asleep.? Is she actually asleep or just closing her eyes? What is she pondering? Is her name “Flaming June”? Or is it a flaming hot June afternoon?
And how did the artist paint that fabric with all the folds, creases and texture with the hint of her skin beneath?
Thanks for posting!
Yes, it is beautiful.
It’s a longtime fave here. Waterhouse’s “My Sweet Rose” (it has several titles I think) is another.
