Description:
“I’ll Play for You” is delightful print showcasing a charming couple enjoying each other’s company in a bygone era. The young man and woman are perched atop a rocky outcropping that is surrounded by a beautiful area consisting of lush foliage, a babbling brook, and an exquisite manor house in the distance. The young gentleman is playing a lute and perhaps serenading his love as he leans into her. The young lady gently rests her arm across his shoulders affectionately, while gazing at an open book upon her lap. This scene represents a courting ritual, or even just a favorite pastime, that has become associated with a romantic period when men and women both wore expensive and hand tailored garments made from rich silks and satins. When balls, musicals, and card parties were fashionable, and days passed by pleasantly in quiet conversation and witty repartee. This pleasant scene has been slightly tinted in areas with golds and browns, a color scheme and technique reminiscent of days of old and allowing the foreground action to stand out. The gold wood frame, with its decorative bow at the top, is absolutely enchanting and perfectly complements the vintage air that surrounds this piece. This wonderful work of art, including the captivating frame, measures 6 5/8” x 6 1/4”. With such an excellent price and such sweet sentiment, this lovely miniature is sure to please.
