The Story in the Margin
A 'pink' is an old name for a carnation, and in this genre scene a young woman buys one — a small everyday moment quietly loaded with meaning, for the pink was a token of love and betrothal. Tender scenes of ordinary life like this were a specialty of European genre painting.

I ordered it on a Friday and it was here Monday. The paper on this print is thick and slightly textured, exactly what I wanted. The afternoon sun in this room is relentless, so I kept it on the shaded side and it has stayed true.
The quality here is well beyond what I paid for it. The shading in A Young Woman Buying a Pink has a depth I never noticed in books.
I’ve had it in place for two weeks and I notice it every time I walk past. The subject of A Young Woman Buying a Pink is what sold me, and it delivers. It is staying right where it is.
