Yes... that painting is marvelous. The gestures of the young couple are so telling. I had seen it before, but did not know who the artist was. Lovely painting.

That reminds me of another paiting with a young couple. The artist is Albert Edelfelt, and the painting is called "Värnamon markkinoilla" or "Suru" (sorrow). After six years of hard work the couple just found out their savings are worthless and they have to wait another six years before they can get married.

Salvador Dali's Metamorphosis of Narcissus

My favorite painters are Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Edward Degas. They're all unpredictable, and leaves you craving to know more.

It's just fantastic how they put the mystery in their paintings, and there's always more to it than looking at a pretty picture.

I love this painting, too. This summer went to poster store and bought this. It reminds me of another Magical Realism painter I like alot too, Rob Gonsalves. Check Gonsalves out when you get a chance. I think you will like him too.
