The Breath of the Wild Azalea

A woman turns her head sideways, looking out past clusters of pink azalea blooms set beneath an open blue sky. Soft light falls across her features and the surrounding petals, giving the scene a quiet, open-air feeling. The piece was painted in 1928, rendered in oil on canvas laid down on board. Charles Courtney Curran (1861–1942), an American painter, worked within the Impressionism movement, also known for Lady with a Bouquet (Snowballs).
