Queen of the harvest
Ah, to be the belle of the… celebration. Yeah, this isn’t a ball. Not like a proper regency affair with dance cards and chaperones and don’t stand up with the same gentleman more than twice, for heavens sake. Not like a fairytale ball either, the sort fit for Cinderella, Belle, or Giselle from Enchanted—no fairy godmothers or poofy dresses here. The Gathering at Castle Leoch is closer, if you remove all the politics.
This is, quite simply, a celebration. With lots of dancing. The villagers—young men in yellow doublets and pretty girls in flouncing skirts and flowers in their hair—have returned from the grape harvest. They gaily set a garland of flowers on Giselle’s head, crowning her Queen of the Harvest. And she dances to show everyone how happy and grateful she is. Basically, this is one big happy dance. I’m sure you can relate.

Framing
Go unframed, so you can choose the framing to accent your own décor.
Go framed, if you wish your artwork to arrive ready to hang on the wall. I hand-picked this timeless beauty for this collection—the frame itself has received many compliments from exhibition visitors! And, to protect your precious artwork even more, it also comes with UV protective glass.
(Please note that I don’t ship framed artworks overseas due to the glass.)
Shipping
Within New Zealand, I offer free shipping for unframed prints in this collection. Otherwise—for framed, or shipping overseas—shipping prices will vary. Get in touch, let me know what exotic location you’re at and I’ll get you an estimate. Read the shipping policy here for more information.
Returns
As limited edition artworks are printed to order and hand-signed and numbered, all sales are final—so please choose carefully! Read the return policy here.
