<p>Entitled ‘A Summer Afternoon’ when first exhibited, this picture was painted at Vétheuil, where Conder was staying during the summer of 1894 with the Kinsellas, the Blunts and D. S. MacColl. There were three Kinsella daughters, Louise, Josephine and Kate. Louise, the model for this picture, was a young American of great beauty who in 1894 was also sitting to Whistler in Paris. She had a love-affair with Conder but afterwards married the Marchese Presbitero and lived in Italy.
