    More about this artwork from our :

The woman’s face glows as she banters with her surprise visitor, who leans into the shadowy room from the sun-drenched field beyond. Smedley’s skill in bringing a story to life shows in this image. We can feel the heat of summer, the cool of the interior, and the excitement of the courting couple.

It looks like a quilt-style patchwork of fabrics or papers with intricate, floral patterns in colors including light pastel pinks and blues.
