Il appliqua sur cette main un baiser que je sentis sur mon coeur

The image depicts two women standing side-by-side, facing each other. The woman on the left is holding a sheet of paper. The woman on the right is facing front, with her head slightly tilted towards her companion. Both women have elaborate hairstyles and wear opulent 18th-century gowns. A man is leaning on a piano or harpsichord, with his head resting on his hand. The room features a curtained backdrop and a panelled wall, with a music stand and a cello.
