The artwork, titled “Long Distance,” is a genre painting created by Haddon Sundblom in 1933. The piece, executed in oil on canvas, belongs to the Kitsch art movement. It measures 88.9 by 71.12 centimeters and depicts a serene, pastoral scene.
In “Long Distance,” the artist captures a young woman in a contemplative pose, seated on a tree branch amidst blossoming flowers. She wears a blue dress with a white apron and holds a hat in her left hand while shading her eyes with her right. The background reveals a lush garden with a white picket fence and a man on horseback, suggesting a narrative of longing and separation. The use of bright, expressive colors and soft brushwork imbues the scene with a sense of nostalgia and tranquility.
