Waterlily by Alice Pike Barney 1900
Digitally remastered.
Waterlily was one of Alice Pike Barney's illustrations for her daughter's chapbook. The model was her niece Ellen Goin.
Although the Smithsonian website calls this pastel Ophelia and dates it ca. 1909, Jean Kling's biography of Alice Pike Barney (Smithsonian Institution Press, 1994, ISBN 1-56098-344-2) gives the title Waterlily and identifies it as an illustration for the poem "Rien ne te peut toucher et rien ne t'emeut" in her daughter Natalie Clifford Barney's 1900 book 'Quelques Portraits-Sonnets de Femmes'.
A graceful, soft and dreamy pastel print to adorn your wall space.
