The Full of the Honey-Moon

About this work

This picture shows a man and woman in a room, dressed in fancy old clothes. The woman sits on a chair, wearing a big hat and a light dress. The man kneels beside her, looking tired, while she holds a piece of paper and points at something on it. A desk with ink bottles and a mirror sits nearby, and a fancy pillar is in the background. The title at the bottom hints this scene is about a newlywed couple having a fight. The woman seems upset, maybe reading a letter that changed everything. If you like this kind of dramatic storytelling in art, look up Romanticism.
