The image shows a man walking with a cane and linking arms with a woman. The man wears 19th-century formal attire including a top hat, tailcoat, waistcoat, and trousers. He has a moustache and prominent nose. The woman has a veil covering her face and wears a long gown with a shawl. The background depicts elegantly dressed people in a lively outdoor setting under large trees. The illustration is in a classic, newspaper-style with a monochrome palette.
