Courbet Young Ladies on the Banks of the Seine Poster

Courbet Young Ladies on the Banks of the Seine poster. Oil painting on canvas from 1856. French realist painter Gustave Courbet treated a vast array of themes in his artwork. Women lounging in a state of repose was a frequent scene within Courbet’s oeuvre, and this is one of his most famous. Two young women lie on the banks of the Seine river in the summertime. One wears a white dress and looks towards the viewer, while the other holds a large bouquet of wildflowers and looks out across the river below the brim of her sunhat. A boat sits on the bank in the distance, and a small basketful of flowers sits behind a tree. A lovely gift for fans of Gustave Courbet, realist painting, the Seine river, and French art.
