    She said: " I won’t go out with you if you have no LOOT."

    He simply misunderstood.

    Well, madam, it’s going to be a bit expensive to fit double glazing if you insist on keeping the plant

    He thought she would think him astute/ when he showed up in that crimson suit/ but the lady was mean/ far more partial to “green”/ which you cannot earn playing the lute.

    The Serenade

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Carl_Probst_Das_St%C3%A4ndchen_1874.jpg 

    (best viewed by Google Chrome, with Google Translate added to chrome://extensions, which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this roughly B3 paper size painting.

     

    https://www.biographien.ac.at/oebl/oebl_P/Probst_Karl_1854_1924.xml 

    has German info about the artist. Other than what’s perhaps indirectly pointed to by the first URL: 

    https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Probst_(Maler) 

    (again in German that Chrome can automatically translate) and links it points to, I was unable to find other info about this artist (that Chrome could automatically translate). Perhaps those who read German can find more. This is the first work by him used here.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2191 (April 29, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.
