About the piece
Painted in 1859 by Julius Scholtz, this charming oil-on-panel work depicts two young women engaged in the folk tradition of 'love divination,' plucking petals from a daisy. The scene is rendered with fine attention to the textures of their traditional attire and the soft light of a rural afternoon, featuring a lush basket of clover in the foreground.
