The Lover is a 1869 watercolor by Étienne-Prosper Berne-Bellecour, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This watercolor painting depicts a man in 18th-century attire, dressed in a white shirt, purple pants, and a black hat. He is leaning against a tree trunk, holding a spyglass to his eye with his right hand. The man's clothing and the tree suggest a scene from the past. The artist's use of watercolor creates a soft, dreamy quality in the painting. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up "glazing".
