Charles Courtney Curran — Conservatory Chrysanthemums · Art Postcard

Sunlight slants through the sloped glass roof onto crowded chrysanthemums in white, yellow and deep red, potted in rows along the conservatory bench. A woman in a dark coat and feathered hat bends close to a girl in a plaid pinafore, both absorbed in the flowers between them. Charles Courtney Curran swaps his usual open gardens for this hushed indoor hour — the only one of his scenes here that happens under glass.
