Spring Nocturne

n.d.
30 in. x 24 in.

Edward Gregory Smith, American, (May 2, 1880–November 7, 1961)

Medium and Support: oil on canvas

Credit Line: Florence Griswold Museum; Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Harris

Accession Number: 1984.15

A view of a woman standing in front of a house. She is wearing a long, pink dress and stands in front of a fence at the left. The whole painting seems to be veield in green. Smith produced a number of nocturnes - usually featuring a lone figure in front of a barn or house - which are reconized as a significant aspect of his work. Using a carefully controlled palette the artist succeeds in recording a sense of veiled luminosity in "Spring Nocturne".
