The image depicts a man and a woman indoors. The man is seated on a red-covered piece of furniture and holding a letter. He has curly blonde hair and is dressed in a yellow vest, white shirt, cravat, and gray breeches. The woman is kneeling beside him, holding a piece of paper. The scene also includes a stool with letters, a musical instrument, a chair with a cloak, a sword, a hat with plumes, and a decorated cabinet with a globe and vase on paneled walls.
