Reading by the Shore (c.1883-1885). Charles Sprague Pearce (American, 1851-1914). Oil on canvas.
The work combines a brilliant light and free handling of paint with a tightly rendered fashion portrait of Antonia [the artist’s wife]. Pearce’s palette is an electrifying range of colors, with the tonal range of the background liberated from the conventions of knowledge, treated with little regard to local color, such as the pink sand beach with its lilac shadows.

“When I saw her I was in love with her. Everything turned over inside of me. She looked toward the door, saw there was no one, then she sat on the side of the bed and leaned over and kissed me.” ― Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms
