EDITORS COMMENTS
1913 - A Charming Depiction of Courtship by Florence Hardy In this delightful and captivating work of art, British painter Florence Hardy masterfully captures the essence of young love and the allure of courtship. The scene unfolds in a tranquil setting, with two eager suitors presenting gifts and flowers to a pretty young girl. The artist's use of soft colors and gentle brushstrokes evokes a sense of warmth and tenderness, as the young woman is enveloped in the affectionate attentions of her admirers. Hardy's "I Like Being Loved," painted in 1913, is a poignant reminder of a bygone era when romance was expressed through simple gestures of love. The two suitors, dressed in fashionable Edwardian attire, are fully committed to winning the heart of the young girl, who gazes back at them with a demure smile. The abundance of roses and other flowers scattered around the scene adds to the overall sense of romance and passion. Hardy's exceptional talent for capturing the nuances of human emotion is evident in this beautiful painting. The interplay of light and shadow, the subtle expressions on the faces of the characters, and the intricate details of the clothing and accessories all contribute to a rich and evocative visual narrative. This charming work of art is a testament to the enduring power of love and the timeless allure of courtship. Florence Hardy (1868-1928) was a prominent British painter known for her portraits, genre scenes, and still lifes. Her work was widely exhibited in London and Paris, and she was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. "I Like Being Loved" is a beloved masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and emotional depth.
