Painting of a woman in a white dress holding a pink flower and glass vase beside a window, with a bouquet and pitcher on a table at right.

June

A young woman with dark hair pinned up stands before a sheer white curtain, holding a pink carnation and a small glass vase. On a round table at right, a bouquet of pink and white blossoms sits beside a pale ceramic pitcher. Soft, feathery brushwork and luminous light define this oil painting.
