Eye Candy for Today: Daniel Ridgway Knight figure in landscape

Daniel Ridgway Knight figure in landscape (details)

Unfortunately, I can’t find the title, size or other information on this beautiful paining by turn of the 20th century American artist Daniel Ridgway Knight. [Addendum: artist James DeBoer has been kind enough to provide that information: the title is Partant pour le Travail (Leaving for Work), the painting is 32 x26″ (81 x 66 cm), and was painted in 1899.]

I found the image as part of this blog post (direct link to the image here).

Like many of Knight’s paintings, this one shows a young rural woman set against an idyllically beautiful landscape, painted with a muted palette and a keen sensibility to value relationships.
