      The Love Letter (or The Appointment) signed with monogram and dated '61' (lower right) oil on canvas, painted arch 21 x 161/2 in. (53.3 x 42 cm.) PROVENANCE Anon. sale, Phillips, London, 16 June 1998, lot 80, when acquired by the present owner. EXHIBITION The Defining Moment, 2000-1, no. 45. The Emergence of Jewish Artists in Nineteenth-Century Europe, 2001-2, cat. pl. 33. NOTES A typical piece of Victorian story-telling, with the almost obligatory element of ambiguity. The young woman has received a letter from the heavily-whiskered man whose face appears in the mirror, but their relationship and her emotions remain unclear. She seems to be of a certain age, and may well be in mourning. Could the man be an adventurer, with designs on her inherited money? The receiving and writing of letters loom large in Victorian genre painting, a reflection of the enormous improvement in the postal service following Sir Rowland Hill's invention of the penny post. Letters certainly figure prominently in this young woman's existence, witness the others in the rack on the wall and tucked into the frame of the mirror. It has been suggested that the artist herself was the model. The figure is said to bear a certain resemblance to that of the young poacher's mother in her picture The Lion and the Mouse, which in turn has been tentatively identified as a self-portrait (see Solomon: A Family of Painters, exh. Geffrye Museum, London, 1985, cat. p. 63, no. 32, illustrated). However, as Pamela Gerrish-Nunn observed in the Geffrye Museum exhibition catalogue, 'this theory (about the self-portrait) has yet to be substantiated.' It is also disconcerting that the figure in the Forbes picture looks older than the mother in The Lion and the Mouse, yet the latter was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1865, four years after the Forbes picture was painted. For further interpretations of this picture, see the articles by Charlotte Gere and Lionel Lambourne in these catalogues.

      A Fashionable Couple signed and indistinctly dated 'R Solomon/185..' (lower right) oil on canvas 19 x 21 in. (48.3 x 53.3 cm.) PROVENANCE with Gavin Graham Gallery, London, 1985. Anon. sale, Sotheby's, London, 16 December 1987, lot 119, when acquired by the present owner. LITERATURE Rosemary Trebble, review of the Solomon Exhibition, Burlington Magazine, vol. CXXVIII, no. 994, January 1986, p. 54. C. Wood, Dictionary of Victorian Painters, Woodbridge, 1995 ed., vol. II, illus. p. 405. EXHIBITION London, British Institution, 1854, no. 205, as 'A Curious Page on St Valentine's Day'. Birmingham, 1854. London, Geffrye Museum, and Birmingham, Museum and Art Gallery, Solomon: A Family of Painters, 1985-6, no. 24. A Struggle for Fame, 1994, cat. p. 67. Ladies of the Brush, 1994-5, no. 28. The Defining Moment, 2000-1, no. 44. NOTES The picture has come to be known as A Fashionable Couple, but it clearly has some more specific narrative and its identification with a picture that the artist exhibited twice in 1854. A Curious Page on St Valentine's Day, is now generally accepted. Even so, the precise meaning remains elusive. The Victorians were undoubtedly devotees of St Valentine's Day rituals, but light still needs to be shed on why this young woman sees such significance in a particular book illustration, and draws it to the attention of her rather smug and self-satisfied companion. For a further comment on the picture, see Charlotte Gere's article above.
