Oil painting on canvas by Robert Franke depicting a serene nighttime scene consisting of a two-story house with ornate balconies, standing amidst lush greenery, illuminated by a bright full moon. The house's windows have gentle yellow curtains, while the porch features potted plants and a peacefully lounging cat. Tall palm trees frame the house, their leaves swaying gently under the starry sky. Nearby, a ladder leans against the house where a man in a hat receives a basket from a woman on the balcony above, implying she is sneaking out of the house to elope with the man.Artwork Details
