The poise of a young couple picnicking in Fleetwood-Walker’s Amity is ingratiating. The young man stares at the young woman, who looks lost in thought. She twirls a daisy, suggesting youth and innocence. The picnic basket beside her shows apples, a symbolic suggestion of sensuality. But they do not touch.
