This romantic scene depicts a young couple resting beneath a tree. The boy looks longingly at the girl who stares into the distance in a dream-like trance. The maiden rests her basket of foliage on her skirt as she gently plucks a plant from the ground.
This painting is of the style of Thomas Faed and his artistic circle in the mid 19th century. Genre paintings with strong narratives were gaining aesthetic popularity in Scotland during this time and artists with showed a particular interest in presenting the everyday life of country people.
Unsigned. The panel supplier's stamp to the reverse has helped us to date this painting as mid 19th century. This particular stamp was used by Brown's in the 1850's, which was stamped onto all of their art supplies at the time. Presented in an ornate gilt composition frame with foliate details.
On board.The condition is commensurate with its age, with a fine patina. There is some marking to the surface as well as craquelure. There has been some restoration. There has also been restoration to the frame that has been subject to some light cracking and some small losses. Areas of the frame have been remoulded.
