About the Item

Charming and lovely, this quiet depiction of two young lovers sitting under a tree in 1942, while World War II was being waged not far away, was painted by G. Lundgren in Sweden and is a close copy of "Amity" by Bernard Fleetwood Walker, owned by the Walker Art gallery in Liverpool, England. The original is well known and was painted in 1933. The young blond female figure is shown with a basket of apples at her side, in a pale blue dress and handing a daisy to her male companion. The male figure is shown in an oversized white shirt and a fedora in his hand, and in the background is a pastoral scene with fields, a farmhouse and hills in the distance. Nothing is known about the painter. The medium is oil on canvas. (Dimensions include frame.).
