About this work

This painting shows a couple sitting together in a landscape. The man has long, curly hair and wears a cloak over his clothes. The woman has long, curly hair and wears a dress. They are sitting on the ground with their legs bent to the side. The man is holding a plant, and the woman is holding a small animal. In the background, there are trees, hills, and buildings. The couple's clothing and hairstyles suggest that the painting was created during the Renaissance period. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds depth to the scene. The painting is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
