This lot presents a print on board after Contentment by Maxfield Parrish, one of the most influential American illustrators and painters of the early 20th century. Parrish is renowned for his luminous color, idealized figures, and dreamlike landscapes, which became iconic in American visual culture through magazine illustrations, calendars, and commercial commissions.Contentment depicts two figures seated on a rocky outcrop overlooking a dramatic mountainous landscape, rendered in Parrish’s signature cool blue palette with warm highlights. The composition emphasizes serenity, harmony with nature, and classical beauty—hallmarks of Parrish’s work. The stylized setting and carefully balanced figures convey a sense of quiet contemplation and timeless calm.This example is presented as a print mounted on board, a format commonly produced for commercial and decorative distribution during the height of Parrish’s popularity. The work is framed and retains strong visual presence, with colors remaining vibrant and composition clear.
