DescriptionThe image is of two figures, one male and on female, set within a woodland scene. The female figure is seated to the right of the male with her head bowed while she focuses on an item held in her hands; she is clothed with a cap on her head, a cloak with a hood around her shoulders, and a long skirt. The male figure stands on the left and leans on a staff as he too focuses on what is in the female figure's hands; he is clothed in a brimmed hat, coat, breeches, and knee high boots. The figures appear to be on the bank of a river with trees behind them.
