Ruby, Gold, and Malachite from 1902 is probably my favorite painting by Henry Scott Tuke.
It shows Tuke's outstanding talent for subject, locale, lighting, and composition.

    1. I thought so, too, but it was about 70 years too soon. Could Gilligan's TV outfit have been based on the painting? Stranger things have happened.
