I was in London three weeks ago and Saw these two paintings which I loved. One is by John Everett Millais: the Order of release 1746
It is a depiction of the release of a Jacobite soldier and his wife and child there to get him. The wife is handing the slip of release to the Guard.
The second is a sweet painting I had never seen nor heard about. Philip Hermogenes Calderon: Broken Vows 1856. The woman in the painting has recently discovered that her lover, whose initials are carved in the fence, has been unfaithful. You can see her lover and a new girl behind the gate.
