She is turned away from the man, has her hands behind her back, and is wearing low-heeled shoes. The man is on the right side, wearing a top hat, white shirt, dark jacket, waistcoat, and dark trousers with a striped pattern. He has a lit cigar in his mouth and is holding his jacket and waistcoat with one hand and his hat with the other. He is wearing black shoes with a low heel. The background shows a flat area and a hill or mountain on the left side. There is text at the bottom of the image in French and some small writing at the top and bottom right corner.
