The Kiss Returned

Französische Grafik 1794–1800, in or before 1795

The artwork shows three people. In the foreground, a man dressed in a brown coat, tan pants, and black shoes stands holding a hat in his right hand. He gestures toward a couple with his left hand. The couple is positioned to the right; the woman, wearing a light-colored dress with red details and a white headpiece, stands slightly turned with her hands clasped in front of her. The man beside her leans in to kiss her cheek, dressed in a light-colored suit with boots. A small dog is at his feet. In the background, a stone building with arched windows and a cross on top is visible, with several people present, one raising a hat. Trees and foliage frame the scene on the right.
