Title
A Young Woman Consoled by her Mother, as the Man she Loves Marries Another
Description
English: A Young Woman Consoled by her Mother, as the Man she Loves Marries Another

Hiding out of sight behind a couple of trees, an elderly mother reassuringly wraps her arm around the waist of her tearful daughter, supporting her both emotionally and physically. The couple, in the timeworn contrast of youth with old-age, discreetly watch a joyful wedding procession exit a hilltop church in the Roman campana. The young woman’s lover, who had previously declared his undying love for her by carving an arrow-pierced heart below the word ‘Sempre’, has married another. However, the lush vegetation and

blossoming flowers point renewal and regeneration – in the end, time heals all.
