Such a lovely framed "art" piece. In Edwardian, aesthetic movement style, a pretty young lady contemplatively rests against a yellow rose tree. Her wispy hair is struggling to maintain its back bun. She is seen in profile, arms clasped at her back as her seafoam green diaphanous gown slips off her shoulders. Her hands hold a circle of pink roses. She seems to be glancing at the butterfly before her--but we think she is remembering sweet moments with a new beau. This is painted on what we believe is silk--common practice for the times. There is no artist signature--perhaps eliminated when this was cut to fit the gold tone oval frame. It is glass covered and paper covered at the back. It has wire hanger
