Allegro - Allegorical Promenade (1848)
A woman with classical features, draped in antique attire and crowned with flowers, walks barefoot while holding the hand of a little girl who looks up at her. Three winged cherubs hover above them (one leaning on her shoulder, another holding a bow), while a path lined with trees, flowers, and hills opens into the distance.
The composition recalls allegorical literary illustrations of the 19th century, particularly those associated with John Milton's L'Allegro.
