And It is the Caress of Their Hands, plate eight from Love Possibly 1898 - 1899

"And It Is the Caress of Their Hands," is a lithograph from Maurice Denis's "Love" series, possibly created between 1898 and 1899. The print, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, depicts a woman with flowing blonde hair, leaning on her hand, and holding a flower in her other hand. The gentle, pastel tones and soft, flowing lines of the work are characteristic of the Symbolist movement, showcasing Denis's artistic style. The piece represents a tender and delicate moment, imbued with a sense of love and intimacy.
