Frank Weston Benson's Sunlight
is an oil painting that captures the essence of a sunny day. The artist skillfully depicts the sunlight on the girl's clothing, the grass and sea, creating a bright and cheerful atmosphere. A breeze is suggested by Sylvia's billowing dress and the flying ribbon from the back of her dress.
Benson was commissioned by distinguished New England families to paint portraits of family members. His own family members were also frequent subjects of his paintings, as seen in Sunlight. The painting won prestigious awards and appeared in exhibitions for two decades.
