Note From a Collector!

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted in my "Collector" series but I've been extremely busy with book reviews. Unfortunately since I last posted I haven't acquired anything new to add to my collection of nick knacks and antiques but I still have a lot of interesting things to share with you.

This week I've chosen another art print. I'm not sure of it's title or it's age but is a very romantic sepia tone print that I have hanging in my exercise room of all places! Hahaha it makes it a little easier to workout when you have beautiful things to look at!



I purchased this picture at a local auction. I have no idea how old or new it is but I love it. I wonder if the gentleman is trying to persuade this young lady to perform a duet? I'll bet they'll make beautiful music together if the young miss can overcome her shyness!
