About this work

The painting shows a man and woman leaning forward from behind a curtain. They seem to be watching a performance. Their faces show they're enjoying it, laughing and excited. The couple's body language says a lot about their interest in the show. They're fully engaged, which suggests the performance is pretty entertaining.
