This painting shows a woman and a man in a dark room. The woman is standing and the man is kneeling. She is holding her breast and pointing to it. The man is looking up at her. The woman is wearing a long dress and the man is wearing shorts. There are shadows on the wall behind them. The painting is done in a style that makes the shadows look very dark. You might want to look up more paintings that use chiaroscuro.
