April Love
A Pre-Raphaelite portrait painting exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1856, a depiction of young love, showing a girl holding her scarf, as she looks around a corner, the artist was inspired by a verse from Tennyson's The Millers Daughter. Ivy was used as a symbol of everlasting life, while roses symbolise love, the scattered petals on the floor could represent the ending of a love affair
