Golden Greeting 1905

"Golden Greeting" is a watercolor painting by Edward Burne-Jones from 1905. This circular artwork depicts a man kneeling in reverence as a woman in a flowing white dress leans down to greet him with a kiss, framed by a leafy background. Burne-Jones, known for his Pre-Raphaelite style, often painted mystical and romantic scenes with intricate details and a dreamlike quality. The painting's soft colors and the tender gesture of the figures evoke a sense of love and longing.
