Winslow Homer, "The New Novel" (1877), Springfield Museum of Fine Arts, Massachusetts. Well, it should be obvious why this is a favorite of mine!
Carl Larsson, "The Bridge" (1912), private collection, Finland.
Frederic, Lord Leighton, "Flaming June" (ca. 1895), Museo de Arte de Ponce, Puerto Rico.
Vincent van Gogh, "Still Life: Vase with Twelve Sunflowers" (August, 1888), Neue Pinakothek, Munich. What would a collection of yellows and oranges be without van Gogh sunflowers?
I love Flaming June! The long lines of her limbs remind me of Mannerism and the contortion of her figure remind me of Ingres. Great post!

I love the paintings. I have some prints to frame, all of women reading, that I got from a calendar. The one you have is new to me. Lovely.
