Lotus Lilies

About this work

In this painting, two women sit in a wooden boat surrounded by lily pads and lotus flowers. The woman on the left wears a brown dress and a hat adorned with flowers, while holding a green parasol. Her companion on the right is dressed in white, with a hat featuring a large bow. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a gray sky. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth, with the women's faces partially shaded. The flowers and foliage are depicted in various shades of green, with touches of yellow and white. For more works by Charles Courtney Curran, explore the Art Institute of Chicago.
