Description
Terrace Gardening transports you to San Francisco's Telegraph Hill in 1960, where Slim Aarons captured Mrs. Henry Potter Russell, a member of one of the city's most distinguished families, as she tends her potted plants on her sun-drenched terrace. The photographer's lens preserves an afternoon of quiet cultivation, where carefully arranged containers create a private garden above the city streets. Russell's elegant silhouette against the urban backdrop speaks to a refined approach to city living, turning a modest terrace into a sanctuary of greenery and contemplation.
This photograph brings that same spirit of graceful urban living into your space, where the simple act of tending plants becomes a meditation on cultivating beauty in everyday moments. Terrace Gardening works beautifully in studies, living rooms, or sunlit spaces where you seek inspiration from the past, offering guests a glimpse into how San Francisco society embraced both sophistication and simplicity. The composition invites you to consider your own approach to creating peaceful moments, transforming any room into a gallery where mid-century California style meets timeless domestic elegance.
Available in photo lustre or matte finish, professionally framed in black, white, or natural wood. This Slim Aarons print delivers the golden age of California living directly to your walls, where Telegraph Hill's charm and Russell's devotion to her terrace garden remind you that true refinement grows from attention to life's quieter pleasures.
