Before re-framing
The key in framing this piece is balancing the ruskin setting and soft, feminine subject. A slope was chosen for the perspective, but also to echo the sloping ground, but especially to take the viewer into a distant, quiet time. The plain form is right for the open space, and has suitable rounded elements.
