Ephrastic April, Day 18: "Woman with an Umbrella"


"Woman with an Umbrella" (1880) by Marie_Bracquemond [1840-1916].

rain showers

nearly every day
--April is like that

find a pink umbrella
and the rain will seem
a little less daunting

"Woman with an Umbrella" appears to be a study for Braquemond's "Three Ladies with Parasols" (a.k.a. "The Three Graces"), also 1880. I prefer the study as it has an appealing lightness that I don't find in the painting.
