‘A Favorite Summer Pastime’ – Henry Joseph Thouron Postcard

Two women in Victorian dress sit together on a stone bench deep in the forest, sharing a book — one in white, the other in rose pink with an elaborate feathered hat. Henry Joseph Thouron paints the scene with the soft, unfinished brushwork of a summer sketch.

A quieter kind of summer postcard: two friends, a book, and no rush to go anywhere.
