This painting shows a couple sitting on a bench in a lush outdoor setting. The woman is wearing a white dress and has a blue purse on her lap, while the man is dressed in a gray suit and holds a brown hat in his hand. They are surrounded by trees and a large body of water, with a building visible in the distance. The couple appears to be in a romantic setting, with the woman looking at the man and the man looking out at the viewer. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the clothing and surroundings. The painting is held at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.
