[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 543004, member: 8184"]I was looking for other examples with oil and stumbled on this piece titled "Damon and Phoebe" which led to the poem by John Cunningham called "Damon and Phillis(Phyllis)". (The piece I found is not oil, it just came up when I was searching.) The following embroidery piece is more obviously related to the poem (because of the woman placing a wreath on the man's head), but I do find myself wondering if your piece is also about this poem. DAMON AND PHYLLIS poem: [URL]https://www.poetrynook.com/poem/damon-and-phyllis[/URL] [ATTACH=full]169063[/ATTACH] From [URL]http://www.witneyantiques.com/silkpictures/silkpictures2.php[/URL] Maybe [USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] would have some thoughts on the characters.[/QUOTE]
