content: A pastoral scene with a couple embracing in a landscape. A man standing over a woman who is seated on the ground. He has his arm around her and holds her chin with his left hand. Their faces are very close to each other, and their legs are intertwined. A basket of flowers, straw hat, and shepherd’s crook lay on the ground to the left of the couple, with sheep in the background to the right. Trees, rolling hills and foliage in the background with a stream of water in the foreground to the right. The plate is signed and numbered.
