Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from De Luxe Illustrated Catalogue of Modern Paintings Forming the Private Collection of the Late John H. Converse of Philadelphia: To Be Sold at Unrestricted Public Sale, by Order of the Philadelphia Trust, Safe Deposit and Insurance Company of Philadelphia, at Mendelssohn Hall on the Evening Herein Stated
ON a garden terrace, at the right of the composition, a young lady is seated on a stone bench, leaning her back against a pale-red brick wall, on the stone coping of which rest her elbows. She has removed her straw hat and laid it on a black shawl, decorated-with blue and red ?owers and green leaves, meanwhile shading her head with a lavender-pink parasol. The sun shines lustrously on her creamy satin gown, from under which project her crossed feet, in white satin shoes and pink silk stockings. A mass of deep green foliage appears beyond the wall.
