Farewell (by Joseph DeCamp) Card

This design features a painting by the American Impressionist artist Joseph DeCamp (1858–1923). It depicts a woman standing on a coastal cliffside as she waves to a distant ship with her handkerchief. Her husband may be sailing away with the navy or he may be going to work abroad in foreign lands. The lady is elegantly dressed in a long white dress and a large black hat. She is standing on a patch of grass at the very edge of the cliff as she waves to the ship. The clear blue sea can be seen below her. The original artwork was painted by Joseph DeCamp sometime between 1900 and 1902.
