Dominant colour
Julia McCune Flory and Phoebe Flory is a 1915 by Clarence H. White, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two women wrapped in soft, flowing robes. The woman on the left sits with her head tilted slightly, her face calm and relaxed. Behind her, a younger woman leans forward, her hand resting on the first woman’s shoulder. The lighting is gentle, with shadows blending smoothly into lighter areas, giving the figures a peaceful, dreamy look. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting technique works.
Clarence Hudson White was an American photographer, teacher and a founding member of the Photo-Secession movement.
