The image shows two people, one man and one woman. The man is kneeling beside the seated woman, holding one of her hands. The woman is seated with her body slightly turned toward the man, her head tilted downwards. She has a serene expression and is wearing an off-shoulder gown with a full skirt and an elaborate updo with flowers. She holds a pink flower in one hand. The man has short, wavy hair and is wearing a blue coat, black breeches and stockings, and a white necktie. The scene is set in a room with classic decor, including a chair with a blue cushion, a round table with a silver jug, a glass, and some fruit, a bust sculpture on a pedestal against the wall, vertical wall paneling, and a decorative wall piece. A bouquet of flowers is on the floor beside the table.
