Surprise

The boy pushes up from the ground with both arms raised toward the seated girl, one knee braced on the base. She has taken a place on the rock: pink beret with a brooch, ruffled collar, blue sleeves painted with small flowers. Between her fingers is a single yellow bloom, held down toward him. A woven basket of modelled flowers stands on the ground between the two, with more strewn across the base, which is edged in gold above a white wave border.
