Two girls light paper lanterns in a garden painted only at dusk, over many evenings.

Two girls light paper lanterns among lilies and roses in the blue hush of dusk. Sargent painted it outdoors over many evenings, chasing a few minutes of fading light. The result glows like a memory — one of the most enchanting images of childhood.
