Description: | A young lady has been disappointed by a man who has gone back on his promise to marry her. In this scene, she and her father are consulting a lawyer, who is looking at a silhouette portrait of the young man. Legal action for breach of promise of marriage sometimes took place in the 19th century. The scene is set about 75 years before the artist's own time. Strongly coloured and realistically detailed story pictures set in previous times were very popular in the late Victorian period. This picture is characteristic of Henry Glindoni's subject matter and style. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement artists watercolours art men women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
