The wistful glances of this third quarter 19th century European painting leads to many conjectures. Where is he? Will he return? The maiden peering out of the window is a Romantic era trope, although this painting reconfigures the composition, turning the model towards us, whereas High Romanticism would have positioned her completely away from us. The presence of an exotic form of tropical plant on the window ledge implies a house of means.
