God Speed
Not on view
A Roman subject in which a young woman leans over the parapet of a tall building to toss roses over an unseen departee. Three other women on a balocny below also witness the departure. In the middle distance is a classical arch with a view of the sea beyond. The print is based on an oil on panel of 1893 made as a wedding present for the Duke and Duchess of York (later George V and Queen Mary). The couple are portrayed in the print in a remarque at lower right. Löwenstam was personally allowed by them to borrow the painting to make this print. The etching was praised by the "Athenaeum" for its "considerable spirit, grace, and brightness, good draughtsmanship and finish."
