About this work

In the painting, a man dressed in a long coat, hat, and boots stands with his back to the viewer. He is shaking hands with a woman wearing a long dress and a blue jacket, while another woman in a long dress looks on. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and trees under a cloudy sky. The man's attire and the women's dresses suggest a sense of formality and elegance, while the outdoor setting adds a touch of informality to the scene. This painting is reminiscent of the works of French artist Nicolas Lancret.
