Eerlijkheid
1909
Edward Percy Moran comes from a legendary family of American artists—his uncle Thomas Moran helped document the American West—but here he focuses on high society fashion. In this 1909 portrait titled 'Sincerity,' a woman sits as a vision in crimson, wearing a massive, flower-adorned hat and a flowing red gown that pops against the lush, dark green foliage. Her long black gloves and dramatic cape add a touch of sophistication, while her soft curls and direct gaze perfectly capture the 'Gibson Girl' aesthetic that defined American beauty standards of the era. It feels like a glamorous moment frozen in time at a garden party.
