About this work

This painting shows a man and woman in a room. The man is kneeling, holding a mask. The woman is sitting, looking at him. She's wearing a big dress and a fancy hat. The room has a chair, a table, and a wall with a picture on it. The man is wearing a long coat and shoes. The woman's dress is very fancy, with lots of folds. The mask the man is holding is white with holes for eyes. The room is dark, but there's a light shining on the couple. This painting is an example of Romanticism.
