Painted Handkerchief2903/47

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.

Painting on a handkerchief of cupid nestled on roses. The perimeter of the image is surrounded by a dark grey border with curlicue yellow and orange banners around the edges. In the lower left and upper right corners, a flower and heart motif is repeated. In the left corner, the heart has purple text that reads “George” and in the right corner, the heart has purple text that reads “Dora.” The background behind the central image is purple. On the left side of the image, there is orange and black text that reads “I love you honey.” In the centre of the image, a thorny green stem curls up from the bottom and splits into several stems near the top of the image. At the bottom of the stem, a yellow banner wraps around the stem and a large red heart on the left side of the stem. Where it crosses the heart, the yellow banner reads “Dora.” Over the top right ventricle of the heart there is a small rose bud. It is surrounded by a few green leaves. Above and to the right of this small bud, there is a larger rose bud. A cherub or cupid sits on one of the petals of the large rose. The cherub has pale pink skin, blonde hair, wings with pale blue feathers and yellow along the top edge and a blue sash wrapped around his body. In his right hand, the cherub holds onto a branch of the rose. At the top of the branch that the cherub holds, there is a rose bud that has not yet opened. Behind the cherub’s head, there is another small rose bud. In the lower right corner of the purple space, there is orange and black text that reads “George.” Part b is the envelope the handkerchief was mailed in, with hand-drawn floral images on the outside.
