An exquisitely tender watercolour in a classical style showing a young female nude in billowing drapery dancing hand in hand along a coastline with a cherubic young boy. The pair are adorned with flowers and are staring joyful at each other. Edmund Thomas Parris (1793-1873) has beautifully captured the blushing, smooth skin of the figures in delicate detail.
The artist has monogrammed and dated to the lower left. The painting is presented in a decorative, gilt effect, oval frame with glazing and a wide, cream mount. There is a gallery label at the reverse with the title and artist's dates.
On wove.
The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. The frame and mount are in fine condition.
