J'aimerais autant voir un ouragan se promener dans mon jardin qu'une de ces satanées crinolines!

Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

The image shows a man and a woman in a garden setting. The woman is to the left, with a large crinoline-style skirt partially obscuring her body. Her back is turned, with her hair styled in an updo. She wears a form-fitted bodice. The man is on the right, facing towards the woman with hands clasped behind his back. He wears a checkered suit and a hat, with a stern expression. The background includes trees and foliage. The scene has a sketch-like quality.
