About this work

Artist: John Singer Sargent (1856–1925)
Year: 1885–1886
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 174 × 153.7 cm
Collection: Tate Britain, London
Movement: Impressionism

Two small girls in white dresses light paper lanterns among tall lilies, carnations and roses in a garden at dusk, the glow of the lanterns on their faces matching the last light in the sky. Sargent painted it in the garden of the painter F. D. Millet at Broadway in the Cotswolds over the autumns of 1885 and 1886, working for only a few minutes each evening when the light was right and planting flowers in pots to keep them in bloom; the models were Millet's neighbours Dolly and Polly Barnard. The title comes from a popular song. He had left Paris after the scandal of Madame X, and the picture's success at the Royal Academy in 1887, where it was bought for the nation, re-established him in England. It is at Tate Britain.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose in the public domain?

Yes. John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Tate Britain.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose painted, and in what medium?

Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose dates from 1885–1886 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 174 × 153.7 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
