This print shows a man and a woman surrounded by plants. On the left is the man, who is facing the right and leaning forward with his arms extended. He wears a dark, wide-brimmed hat, a long-sleeved jacket and shirt with a ruffled white collar, and dark trousers. The woman on the right faces us, appearing to move towards the right. The man is grabbing her arm with one hand and the fabric of her skirt with the other hand. She wears a light-colored dress with a neckline so low that it reveals her breasts, a ruffled white collar, a draped skirt, and puffed sleeves. Her hair is tied up into a bun on top of her head. Both people have pale skin, and the man is smiling slightly, while the woman has a neutral expression, her mouth partially open. They are both surrounded by twisting vines and dense leaves. The text "La Petite Therese" is below the print, alongside a decorative coat of arms featuring two figures and a shield.
