EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: The Astronomy Lesson, Circa 1923 This oil painting, The Astronomy Lesson, dates back to circa 1923 and showcases a young lady engrossed in the wonders of the universe through the lens of a telescope. Dressed in a delicate pink gown, she sits in a seated position, her gaze fixed on the starry night sky, her expression reflecting a sense of wonder and curiosity. The scene is set against the backdrop of a tranquil night, with twinkling stars and a crescent moon casting a gentle glow on the landscape. The young woman is not alone in her exploration of the cosmos; an astronomer, dressed in a dark suit and holding a chart, stands behind her, ready to guide and aid her in her discovery. The vibrant colors of the painting bring the scene to life, with the rich hues of the night sky contrasting beautifully with the soft pink of the young woman's dress. The attention to detail in the painting is remarkable, from the intricate folds of the young woman's gown to the meticulously painted stars and planets in the sky. This painting, a testament to the enduring fascination with astronomy, is a beautiful representation of the excitement and joy of learning. It is believed to have been published in a color magazine, specifically in Volume 19, September of an unspecified year. The artist of this masterpiece is Betty Maud Christian Fagan, whose works continue to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
