Antique interior scene of a woman.  This atmospheric, unusual and elegant oil on stretched canvas is truly delightful.  A very elegant woman sits by an open window and studies a portrait of her beloved.  Perhaps he is a soldier or a sailor.  Her wistful, longing expression says it.  As your eyes look around the room and the balustraded balcony beyond, you will see a well painted room, a pretty round table with flowers and another upholstered chair with an attractive rug.  It's a very effective interior scene with the added  love element which makes it all the more special.
