An oval-shaped black and white drawing. A man wearing a hat and cloak holds a dagger in his right hand. His right arm extends across a woman's bare chest. The woman has her head tilted back, her eyes closed, and her mouth open. She holds the man's wrist with her left hand. The man and woman have dark hair. A curtain hangs behind them. The background is shaded. The scene is set against a plain background. Text is written at the bottom. A woman and man wearing old-fashioned clothes.
