Description

Painting on a handkerchief depicting a romantic dinner. From the top left corner there is a handwritten (largely indecipherable) note in black pencil that crosses the top portion of the image. The background is yellow. On the left edge of the image, near the bottom side there is a pink candle with a pink and yellow flame, resting in an orange saucer on a tabletop outlined in blue. Right of the candle, there is a wine glass with an undulating stem, outlined in blue, with a reflection of a woman’s face in the glass. Her dinner date’s reflection can be seen in a wine glass to the right. He wears a black and white striped shirt with elaborate embroidery around the collar. There is a purple vase on the table top between the wine glasses and there are red roses in the vase. To the right of and behind the wine glass with the man in it there is another pink candle in an orange saucer. Right of the candle there is a large bottle of scotch outlined in blue with a red cap and “J&B" label. In front of the scotch there is a folded white place card with black calligraphy and writing.
