Dawn, watercolor by Thomas Wilmer Dewing (1892)

A circular watercolor showing three small draped female figures floating in a pale, cloudy sky of yellow, blue and white washes. One figure in green holds a small flower aloft, while a figure in rose-pink drapes extends her arm toward the right edge. The soft, misty handling creates a dreamy, allegorical atmosphere.
