Summer Fun

Why it's great

A young woman in a white dress sits in a boat on a calm, sparkling bay in Sweden, painted in glowing summer light. Anders Zorn, one of Sweden's most celebrated painters, was famous for watercolors and for showing sparkling light on water. He loved to paint his country's countryside and its people. It's a cheerful summer scene.
