Artist, British, 1756 - 1827

The image shows two people, a man and a woman, with both their upper bodies in view and extending to their knees. The woman is seated at the base of a tree, facing slightly to her left, dressed in a pale blue gown with long sleeves and an ornate white lace collar. Her hair is blonde, long, and curly, with a bonnet tied with a pink ribbon. The man is kneeling beside her right side, wearing a coral pink coat with brass buttons and a white cravat, and his hair is light-colored with gentle curls. He looks up towards the woman, holding her hands. Gold bands are visible on each of her wrists. Behind them stands a horse with a brown coat, along with the wheel of a carriage and a tree trunk. The scene is framed by lush green foliage with a landscape visible in the distance under a blue sky.
