Lucy is a 1909 unspecified by Max Bohm, a american_impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A woman sits in a sunlit room, her face half in shadow. She wears a dark dress with a high collar, hands folded in her lap. This is Lucy, a woman the artist once loved and asked to marry. She said no—she didn’t think he could support her. Years later, he painted her like this, after he’d become successful in Europe. The light on her face feels quiet, like a memory.
