with love, a warm welcoming

Cheers to 2024!

Wilhelm Marstrand, ’Italian Osteria Scene, Girl welcoming a Person entering’ (1847)

A more ”welcoming” piece of art by danish painter Wilhelm Marstrand. More so than this one, which was inspired by the one above.
Perfect for the new year and the fact that today is the day Mercury finally goes direct!
