Elizabeth Nourse was born in Cincinnati where she began studying art at age 15 at the McMicken School of Design. She continued her studies at the New York Art Students League and, in 1887, in Paris at the Académie Julian. Her paintings often feature the gray diffused light and shadowless forms of the younger artists influenced by Bastien-Lepage. She became a successful painter of peasant themes, especially of peasant women engaged in humble acts of devotion or religious ritual or the fishermen's wives in Volendam, Holland waiting on dikes for the return of their menfolk. She traveled widely in search of regional folk themes, but Paris remained her home for the rest of her life.Lilacs 1891. Alternate copy: Lilacs
