Description
“Spring,” 1884, oil on canvas, Russian Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia
In May 1883 Marie started a decorative panel titled Spring which she describes as, “a young woman leaning against a tree, smiling, her eyes closed as if in a beautiful dream, and all around a delicate landscape tenderly green, pale roses, apple trees. I want the sun in it, and I’ll do it at Nice in an orchard, and if I can find a poetic orchard, the woman will be nude.”
