The Green Plot

after Niclas Lafrensen II

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-bodied figures closely interacting. The male figure is sitting on a rock with one arm wrapped around the female figure who leans against him. She appears to be reclining with her head tilted back. Both figures are dressed in 18th-century style clothing; the male wears a coat, trousers, and shoes with buckles, while the female is dressed in a long, flowing gown with ruffles and lace detailing, and low heeled shoes. Their hair is styled in the manner typical of the period, with the male having wavy hair and the female's hair appearing to be styled upward with curls. The background features a lush, wooded setting with dense foliage, trees, and some carved stone elements.
