In this painting by William Bouguereau a couple are in a woodland sharing a quiet moment together. The young woman is fully clothed and wearing a white robe that is hanging loosely from her left shoulder. She is standing looking down at her partner while nervously plucking the petals from a daisy which she has in her left hand. He is naked at her feet sitting on his robe and embracing her legs seemingly beckoning her to join him. Her body language and her facial expression suggests that she is nervous and perhaps uncertain about her feelings for him or perhaps his feelings for her and is there fore reluctant to join him. The Daisy in her left hand perhaps being symbolic of the young woman's indecision. He loves me. He loves me not.
Facial expression.
He loves me.
He loves me not.
The above account is my interpretation of the work and should in no way be taken as fact.
