Description: | "And now those vivid hours are gone, Like mine own life to me though art, Where Past and Present wound in one, Do make a garland for the heart, So sing that other song I made, Half-anger'd with my happy lot, The day, when in the Chestnut shade, I found the blue forget-me-not." This is snippet from the poem 'The Miller's Daughter' by Alfred Tennyson that is painted on the frame containing Vinter's painting. In this picture it looks like the miller's daughter is being courted by the male admirer sitting next of her. The poem is probably written from this man's point of view and he obviously loves her. It is painted as a memory of a love from the past. Like many of the Pre-Raphaelites, this work looks like it was partly painted outside. Though he disagreed with some of their values Vinter seems to have agreed with their plein-air ideals.
