Oil Painting - "In Love" by Marcus Stone
Go to Nottingham City Museums
NCM 1899-7
Stone’s often revisited theme of two lovers was not everyone’s favourite as this 1982 review (about a similar work, Three’s Company) shows – “If Mr Stone was as weary as we are of that still unwedded pair of lovers whom he has so often painted in that garden they never leave, his friends would subscribe money enough to start the young persons in real life, so that they might be married and done with.”
