Summer is a 1892 by Charles Hasslewood Shannon, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a serene scene of two women standing in a lush, natural setting. The woman on the left is shown from the back, with her right arm raised above her head. She is nude, with her long hair flowing down her back. The woman on the right is also nude, holding a basket in front of her. The background is filled with foliage, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The artist's use of light and shadow adds a sense of warmth and intimacy to the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of spontaneity and movement. The painting's focus on the human figure and its natural surroundings is reminiscent of the Impressionist movement, which emphasized the beauty of everyday life and the natural world.
