This painting shows a man and a woman standing close together. The man wears a kilt and a brown jacket, while the woman is dressed in a long, white gown. They both look up at something out of frame. The man has his arm around the woman's waist, and she holds a small bunch of flowers in her hand. The background is dark, with some greenery visible behind them. The woman's white dress stands out against the darker colors of the painting. If you want to learn more about the techniques used to create such contrast, look up the term "chiaroscuro".
