Description
Sweet Summer by John William Waterhouse shows a woman reclining along the edge of a garden pool. Her body stretches from the left toward the right, where one bare foot reaches past the folds of her gray-blue dress. She rests her head on one hand beneath a low tree, while the other arm lies across the ground. The horizontal pose is set against a raised stone border and patches of flowers, which keep the scene from becoming an empty expanse. Sweet Summer by John William Waterhouse is reproduced by hand in oil on canvas.
