Summer Life in the Islelets (by Albert Edelfelt) Notebook

This design features a painting by the Finnish-Swedish artist Albert Edelfelt (1854–1905). It depicts a lady and her two daughters on a jetty beside a river or boating lake in summer. There is also a young man on the jetty who is unmooring the rowing boat where one of the daughters is already seated. The lady and her two daughters are wearing elegant dresses in bright colours, and they are all wearing formal hats. The man who works on the dock is dressed all in white. There are some larger sailing boats that can be seen in the distance. The sky is covered with blue clouds, but the weather is sunny and warm. The original artwork was painted by Albert Edelfelt in 1880.
