The Engagement Ring

This painting by Raymond Neher is rather elaborate. It creates the impression of being a painting of a painting, the painting featuring a woman in a head-scarf in a summer print dress showing off her new engagement ring. However closer inspection reveals that the fingers of her right hand come from behind the gold picture frame and around to the front, and her legs extend beyond the bottom of the frame, so it seems that the picture is actually of a real woman standing behind the frame. The background is an orange sun on red, and with a tree with pink plumeria-like blossoms. Yellow butterflies complete the scene. The wedding can't be far off!
