The painting depicts a woman in a blue dress and black coat, with a white bonnet, standing in front of a wooden door. She is holding a small bag and appears to be saying goodbye to a man in a red uniform, who is leaning out of the doorway. The scene is set in a dimly lit room with wood paneling. The woman's expression is one of concern, while the man's face is obscured by his hat. The overall mood of the painting is somber and melancholic. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Robert Collinson, who was known for his detailed and expressive depictions of everyday life.
