Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

The image depicts two individuals from the waist up in dynamic poses. One person, a man, is slightly bent forward with one hand at the back of the woman's neck. His expressions are exaggerated, with short tousled hair. The woman is leaning backward, looking up at the man. She wears a headpiece and a long-sleeved dark dress with a light-colored apron tied around her waist, holding a ladle in her left hand. The background shows kitchen elements and hanging pots against a softly sketched wall.
