DescriptionA young man wearing a cape and a frock coat is passionately embracing and kissing a young woman. She is leaning backwards and his right hand supports the nape of her neck. A large floral arrangement or flowering plant is in a stone urn on a square pedestal at the left, where stone steps lead upwards beside the stone wall of a large building. The couple stand on a grassy lawn in a park-like setting with trees in the background.
