Treasures in the Trove – April 2015

GSQ Blog Posted on April 27, 2015 by GSQ AdminApril 27, 2015

The man is slender, yet dapper in his three piece suit and cravat.  He is poised, relaxed in stance and with his right arm casually draped over the back of a cane chair, he is holding a small, rounded hat in his hand. His staring at the camera is not harsh, more purposeful, direct. Behind him is an outdoor setting, a stone wall, tall trees and a lake, completing what, I think, is an air of relaxed prosperity. Her stare is equally … Continue reading
