Description
Photograph of the painting "Darby and Joan" by Saddler, depicting an elderly man and a woman dining, [s.d.]. A highly detailed dining room is shown, a man and a woman sitting across from one another at a long table. The man sits in front of what appears to be a cooked pheasant or other game hen, holding his glass in toast. To the right, the woman appears uninterested. Two portraits are visible on the walls behind them, depicting a young man and a young woman respectively. Are these the diners in their youth? Below, a detailed rug can be seen. Also, a cabinet with fine plates and a dressing screen can be seen behind the man and woman to the left and right, respectively.
