Morning Reflection
About this artwork
As part of his courtyard series, artist John Kelly explores the interplay of light in an ancient courtyard in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. A young woman basks in the warm embrace of the morning sun. The cool green foliage adorned with white flowers echoes the dappled light that gracefully blankets her figure. The heightened foreshortening adds a sense of imbalance to the otherwise tranquil scene.
