The top part of the canvas is rounded like an arc, giving this artwork a unique touch, as if looking out a window. There are two other women seen in the distance, also picking flowers. The background shows a breathtaking landscape with a peaceful river, many large trees and a purple-blue sky on the horizon. She has red-orange hair that complements her blue dress. She is also leaning down to reach colorful blossoms but is facing forward. The other woman is slightly to the back, seen to the left of the composition. She has light skin, and her dark hair is wrapped in a bun. She is bending down to pick the flowers with one hand, while holding a bundle of small violet, red, and white blossoms over her belly, along with a brown scarf which is wrapped around her waist. The central figure of the work is the woman in a light pink dress, standing in the forefront of the composition. Waterhouse’s interpretation of the poem resulted in the painting Gather ye Rosebuds while ye may which depicts two women picking rosebuds in a beautiful field. The concept of c arpe diem originates from the Horace, a Roman lyric poet from the Augustus period.

In “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time,” Herrick was speaking of the brevity of life and is considered one of the most famous poems to deal with the notion of carpe diem – meaning to live in the moment and for the moment. No one knows how the artwork ended up in that location. It was only after thirty years that they had an art dealer look at it. A couple bought the house and kept the painting that was already hanging inside.

Curiously, the painting was lost for about a century but found in a farmhouse in Canada. In April of 2007, a British multinational corporation called Sotheby’s valued Waterhouse’s work at over 2 million dollars. Main Menu > HELP > Requests and Commissions.16th and 17th Century European Paintings.
