"The Waving Girl"

This piece is a modern depiction of an old Savannah tale.   

In 1887, an 18 year old girl fell in love with a Navy lieutenant.  As his ship left port, he vowed to some day return and gave her his handkerchief as a token of his love.  She waved it at each ship that passed by her, on Elba Island, and continued to do so for 44 years.  Florence Martus became a sailor's legend:  "The Waving Girl."

The size shown is 24 x 36.  It is also offered in smaller sizes, both on canvas and watercolor paper.
