This painting shows two people talking, a man in a suit and a woman in a bonnet. The man is leaning forward, and the woman looks up at him. They seem to be having a serious conversation, but the text around them is humorous. The conversation between the two figures is what makes this work interesting, as it suggests a social or professional exchange. To learn more about the method used to create this artwork, look up the technique: lithography.
