About this work

In this painting, a man in a military uniform stands facing a woman in a yellow dress. The man wears a red and gold uniform with a tall black hat adorned with a white plume. He holds a sword in his right hand and stands on a red floral rug. The woman, dressed in a long-sleeved yellow dress with a dark green belt, stands with her hands clasped together in front of her. The scene is set in a room with a fireplace, where a clock and candelabras sit on the mantle. The walls are painted white with decorative molding, and a mirror hangs above the fireplace. The overall atmosphere suggests a moment of departure or farewell. This painting is held at the Clark Art Institute.
