Artist, Swiss, 1859 - 1923

The image shows two people from the knee up. The man sits with his back against a tree trunk, his right arm draped over his knee. The woman leans over him, appearing to embrace him closely. The man has curly dark hair, a mustache, and a beard, wearing a jacket with buttons and an undershirt with a red accent. The woman has her hair styled up and wears a loose-sleeved blouse tucked into a long, flowing skirt. Lush greenery surrounds them, with detailed leaves and flowers. In the background, a night sky and a full moon illuminate a silhouette of a distant village with rooftops and a church spire.
