    DescriptionThe image is an illustration for the publication Harper's Weekly. The image consists of a male and female figure in an embrace. The female figure is seated and wearing a dress-like garb with a bowl-like object on her lap with what resembles fruit and peelings fallout out of the bowl. The male figure is standing stooped over the female figure and wearing a turn-of-the-century style suit. The male figure has his head next to the female figure's cheek as if in a kissing-like fashion.
