Note du spécialiste

According to Alma Gilbert the present work, "painted as an illustration for The Turquoise Cup by Arthur Cosslett Smith (Charles Scribner, 1903), is a wonderful example of Parrish's luminism. It is one of the few pieces for which the artist used himself as a model...Parrish used his own back porch as the setting. The Duncan Phyfe table holds his pewter service; the lion on the pedestal was crafted by Parrish in the Saint-Gaudens studio...Parrish's view of Venice in the painting is a perfect example of how he would transport a different locale to blend it effortlessly with his own surroundings." (Maxfield Parrish: The Masterworks, Berkeley, California, 1992, p. 25-26)
