The Tango, Jane LydburyI’ve just realised it’s Wednesday. I’m phenomenally busy today, so this week’s EDW is going to be short and sweet.

The picture on your left is called the Tango. It is by artist Jane Lydbury. It featured in the Royal Academy of Arts’ Summer Exhibition last year.

The picture was inspired by a Hans Christian Andersen short story, in which the king offers half his kingdom and a princess’s hand in marriage to the man who can do the most incredible thing. It is extremely fine, contains much that is elegant, and a framed print of it hangs on my wall.

I am extremely fond of it.

One day, I’d like to learn the Tango - its mixture of the slutty and the elegant, the raw and the refined make it most attractive.

Nice picture, too.

A most incredible and elegant tango it is too,
clearly evidenced by the expression of the man’s partner.
The Princess however,
clearly hopes this turn will not thrill the King one bit as much.
