A Glass of Lemonade, c1664. An attentive young man tenderly mixes a "restorative" glass of lemonade for the young woman, presumably to convey his own feelings to the "love-sick" young woman under the watchful eyes of a chaperon. Indeed lemons were then seen as "an effective dietary cure" for lovesickness.
