Need help identifying a painting of a Victorian-looking couple, hand-in-hand

July 14th, 2008, 04:22 PM

I am looking for a painting that I saw at my Great-Aunt's house...she bought it recently from a magazine, but didn't remember which one. She thinks it is called "Hand in Hand", but I have searched for it by that name with no results.

The painting depicts a young man and woman dressed in 1900-1920 style. The man has a tophat and is carrying an umbrella, his face toward the woman and not visible: the ground is wet from rain.The woman is looking up at the man; she is also wearing a hat. They are holding hands.

...not much information, but please let me know if you recognize it!

...and, nevermind...I finally found it: "The Garden of Eden" by Briton Riviere, if anybody else is curious.

Does anyone know of a painting with a boy and a girl holding hands in a meadow or field outside? She's wearing a sunbonnet and they are young, potentially brother and sister?
