These two preparatory sketches for Sargent's 'Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose' record the precise poses he planned for Dorothy and Polly Barnard in the painting. He worked on the composition from September to early November 1885, and again during the summer of 1886, completing it some time in October. He was able to paint for only a few minutes each evening when the light was exactly right. He would place his easel and paints beforehand, and pose his models in anticipation of the few moments when he could paint the mauvish light of dusk. As autumn came and the flowers died, he was forced to replace the blossoms with artificial flowers. 🌼」1月13日 2時41分
