Promise of Spring

About this work

This painting shows a man and a woman in ancient Roman dress. The man is standing, wearing a brown tunic and sandals, and he's holding a black dog. The woman is sitting on a marble bench, wearing a long, flowing dress with a pink sash. She's leaning back against the wall, with her right arm resting on the top of the bench. The man is looking down at the woman, and the woman is looking straight ahead. There's a tree with white flowers behind them, and the sky is blue. The whole scene looks peaceful and serene. The painting is called "Promise of Spring" and it's by Lawrence Alma-Tadema. You might want to look up more of his work next.
