Consider Lavery, Phillips Fox, Munnings etc:<br />1. the date is almost always late Victorian or Edwardian<br />2. always a woman, usually young and pretty<br />3. the dress is soft, white and comfortable<br />4. mostly in a hammock in a garden setting.<br />5. the hammock or bench is often on the diagonal<br />6. mostly in summer, often with the sun rays filtered by trees.<br />7. passive leisure, mostly books.<br /><br />At a time when women worked very hard in their homes, these Edwardian images of lovely young women reading in the summer sun must have been totally tranquil.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
