Oh, swoon. The story behind the painting.
The Edwardians: Secrets and Desires | Henry TONKS | The pearl necklace

Bids me wear them, warm then, until evening
When I’ll brush her hair. At six, I place them
Round her cool, white throat. All day I think of her…
from Warming her pearls - Carol Ann Duffy
