In A June Idyl, the artist’s daughter, Daisy, reads to her brother amid the cool shadows and dappled sunlight of a lush landscape. Steele rarely included figures so prominently in his landscapes, but here he deftly places them into a wooded setting. The bright red hat offers a dramatic dash of color, a technique Steele often used to enliven his compositions.
Steele painted this scene during a summer spent in Vermont’s Green Mountains at the home of Allen M. Fletcher, secretary-treasurer of the Indianapolis Natural Gas Company. Between June and September 1887, he painted five commissions for Fletcher as well as ten works for himself.
