'An Idyll', 1891, (c1902). After a painting in the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. Man embracing a woman in a field of poppies. The woman appears passive, and although actively reciprocating her lover's embrace would have been shocking to Victorian viewers, her ambiguous expression and body language may make more modern viewers uncomfortable. From The Nation's Pictures. A selection from the finest modern paintings in the public picture galleries of Great Britain, reproduced in colour. [Cassell and Company Ltd, London, c1902]
