About this work

This image shows a man and woman sitting close together on a ship deck. The man wears a dark suit with a white shirt and bow tie. The woman has a light dress with puffed sleeves and sits with her hand resting on his shoulder. Near their feet is a small bucket and a trunk. The background looks like a ship’s railing and rigging. The title at the bottom says this is from Charles Dickens’ *Dombey and Son*, paired with music by Stephen Glover. The scene feels quiet and cozy, like a private moment on a voyage. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this print is kept.
