Description: | Signed: yes Description: In this scene of eighteenth century dalliance, a lady resists but not too determinedly the advances of an amorous gentleman as they sit secluded under a pergola. Further off, a man addresses two women, one of whom seems to cast a glance in the direction of the seated lovers. The image, painted in the mid-ninettenth century, suggests bourgeois nostalgia for an imagined past as well as a desire for mild titillation. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Kate, Herman Frederik Carel ten (Dutch artist, 1822-1891) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8454... | Go to resource |
