The Chamber Idyll

Edward Calvert British

Not on view

A pastoral love scene framed by the rustic structure of a cottage. Within a low room, a nude youth sits on the edge of a bed next to a standing woman who garment both remove. A bowl filled with fruit sits on the floor and a shepherd's crook leans at left while, at right there is a landscape with a star-filled sky and sheep and an ox standing near the cottage.
