About this work

This painting shows a man and a woman embracing. They are sitting under a tree with their arms around each other. The woman is wearing a long dress, and the man is wearing a white cloth around his waist. They are barefoot. The background of the painting is dark, but you can see a landscape with trees and hills. The sky is cloudy, and there is a crescent moon shining through the clouds. The overall mood of the painting is sad and intimate. The painting is held at the Ashmolean Museum.
