The Fond Farewell
1891

A British painter active from the late Victorian to the Edwardian era.
Known for his romantic works inspired by medieval chivalry and literary themes, he repeatedly depicted moments of farewell and vows.
This painting quietly captures a moment of parting between lovers.
The one departing, and the one seeing them off. Though few words are exchanged, their hands and gazes are filled with the poignant realization that they don't know when they will meet again.
