Romantic Conversation in the Park Tissue Paper

This design features a painting by the Italian artist Federico Andreotti (1847–1930). It shows an elegant young woman sitting on a stone bench in a parkland. She is talking to her male suitor, who is crouching down beside her. The two lovers are having a romantic conversation away from the prying eyes of family and friends. The lady is wearing a fashionable white dress, and she is holding a parasol to protect herself from the sun. The gentleman is also wearing a historical costume appropriate to the era. On the bench next to the young woman is a book, perhaps containing love poetry, and some pink roses, which may have been given as a given by her admirer. The couple are surrounded by beautiful verdant trees. There is also a lake or river running through the park.
