“**Courtship**” is a genre painting created by the artist Edmund Blair Leighton. The artwork depicts a romantic scene set in a serene, rural environment along a riverbank. It captures a moment of interaction between a young woman adorned in a delicate, light-colored dress with floral patterns and a red bonnet, and a man leaning against the wooden railing, looking up at her with a sense of admiration. The background shows quaint village houses and a peaceful landscape, contributing to the overall tranquil atmosphere of the artwork. The soft light, detailed attire, and subtle expressions on the characters’ faces are characteristic of Leighton’s style, reflecting Victorian romanticism.
