Sunday Morning is a 1801 oil by Michele Felice Cornè, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a tree in front of a house. They are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, and some are holding objects like a baby, a hat, or a stick. The scene is set in a rural area with hills and trees in the background. The artist has used warm colors to create a cozy atmosphere, and the brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. The people in the scene seem to be engaged in a quiet activity, perhaps a family gathering or a moment of rest. The painting's style and technique are reminiscent of the work of Michele Felice Cornè, who was known for his genre scenes and use of chiaroscuro.
Michele Felice Cornè (1752–1845) was an artist born in Elba who settled in the United States.
