Helen M. Turner (American, 1858-1958)
Lilies, Lanterns and Sunshine, 1923
Oil on canvas, 35 x 43 inches
Gift of Walter P. Chrysler, Jr.

This is an oil on canvas painting; it shows a garden patio scene of a young girl holding up a lantern in front of a woman, possibly her mother. A golden-colored dog sits next to the woman, who is looking into a lantern on her lap. In the foreground, a table with a patterned white tablecloth holds two teacups and a plate with food. The background shows a treed landscape with bright orange-red flowers; a pot of the same flowers sit on the table.
