Johann Heinrich Tischbein The Elder (Circle), Portrait Of A Lady With Forget-Me-Nots

Johann Heinrich Tischbein The Elder (Circle), Portrait Of A Lady With Forget-Me-NotsThis beautiful late 18th century portrait depicts a young lady holding forget me nots. Exquisitely attired in a lavish pink dress, shes the personification of elegance. In her right hand, a small posy of forget me nots, a symbol of enduring love and devotion. The inclusion of flowers in Tischbeins portraits was designed to communicate the characteristics of the sitter. Roses are frequently seen, as they convey love, but forget me nots are less obvious
