This image shows a woman with her hand to her ear, as if listening to something. She's wearing a kimono and has a hairpin in her hair. A man is behind her, whispering in her ear. The background is a light color. The woman's kimono has a pattern on it, and the man's clothing is also patterned. The overall mood of the image is one of quiet intimacy. The painting is part of a series called "Eight Views of Favorite Things of Today's World." You can learn more about the Romanticism movement, which influenced this artwork.
