-You are Really Picturesque 1868

"You Are Really Picturesque, My Love" is a wood engraving by American artist Winslow Homer created in 1868. This artwork is part of a series of illustrations that Homer created for the novel "Our Mutual Friend" by Charles Dickens. The engraving depicts a man sitting in a chair, leaning back and reading a book. A woman is sitting on a chair in the background, looking at the viewer. The scene is domestic and intimate, capturing the moment of a couple enjoying a quiet evening together. The engraving is a fine example of Homer's skill in capturing the details of everyday life. This illustration, which is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts collection, captures the intimate moment between the two characters in the book, likely a husband and wife, and showcases the artistic skill of Winslow Homer.
