EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas painting titled "The Language of Flowers" artist George Dunlop Leslie transports us to a Victorian drawing room, where two young women indulge in the timeless pastime of flower appreciation. The scene is filled with delicate femininity and elegant charm. Seated on a leather upholstered sofa, one woman dons a white dress and gazes intently at an oversized book resting upon her lap. With a wide-brimmed hat tied around her neck, she immerses herself in the language of flowers, seeking hidden meanings within their petals. Her companion, dressed in dark attire, lounges lazily across the arm of the sofa. In her hand rests a pair of scissors as she contemplates them with slight boredom. A trug overflowing with vibrant blooms sits at their feet, its contents spilling onto the floor below. The panelled wall behind them provides an exquisite backdrop for this intimate moment captured by Leslie's brushstrokes. This painting not only showcases the beauty of floral arrangements but also explores themes such as education, gender symbolism, and social history. It invites us to ponder upon notions of femininity and leisure during that era. "The Language of Flowers" is an ornamental masterpiece that exudes whimsy and grace while offering insight into Victorian daily life scenes. Its intricate details and meticulous execution make it both visually stunning and intellectually intriguing—a true testament to Leslie's artistic prowess.
