A Summers Folly, 1880s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by American artist Daniel Ridgway Knight. This enchanting artwork, measuring 181.7 x 109.8 cm, depicts a scene from the late nineteenth century countryside. In this portrait-style composition, we see a lone woman standing amidst lush undergrowth and vibrant foliage. The woman's attire reflects the fashion of the time, with an apron and headscarf adorning her patterned dress. With a smile on her face and direct gaze towards the camera, she exudes an air of confidence and contentment. Surrounded by a wooden fence that marks the boundary between civilization and nature, she stands in front of what appears to be a folly - perhaps symbolizing whimsy or playfulness during summertime adventures. Knight skillfully captures both the serenity of rural life and the active spirit of his subject through his masterful brushstrokes. The warm colors and delicate details bring this idyllic scene to life. This print allows us to appreciate Knight's talent as well as glimpse into an era long gone by. It serves as a reminder of simpler times spent outdoors in pursuit of leisurely activities such as hunting or walking through picturesque landscapes. With its timeless beauty and evocative charm, "A Summers Folly" continues to captivate viewers even after more than a century since its creation.
