A Summer Day (Beautiful Women in the Sun) Ceramic Tile

This design features a painting by the Danish artist Gerda Wegener (1886–1940). It is a truly beautiful vintage representation of female beauty and joy. The women are all enjoying the hot weather of a bright summer day in different ways, engaging in various creative and sensual pleasures. One woman is painting a picture a picture with a canvas and easel; another woman is lying on the grass reading a book with her legs held coquettishly up in the air, showing off her high heels; the woman next to her is enjoying the warm sun on her body and bare feet as she sniffs the beautiful fragrant aroma of a pink rose; there is also a woman playing an accordion and enjoying the sweet sound of her music. In the background a couple is resting together on a wall beside the river, watching the attractive women have their fun. It is a truly enchanting and captivating scene that encapsulates the simple joys of summer. The original artwork was painted in 1927.
