The artwork, “Two Girls Lying on the Grass,” was created by artist John Singer Sargent in 1889. It is an oil painting on canvas, measuring 53.66 by 64.14 cm. A notable piece within the Impressionist art movement, this work falls under the genre painting category.
The artwork captures a tranquil scene in which two young women are depicted lying on the grass, presumably during a leisurely outdoor moment. The painting employs the characteristic loose brushstrokes and emphasis on light and color that typify Impressionism. The girls’ attire and hats suggest a setting from the late 19th century, while their relaxed and natural poses convey a sense of peaceful introspection and unspoken connection. The backdrop of lush, green grass enhances the serene and intimate atmosphere of the composition.
