A vertically oriented oil painting in thick, sweeping brushstrokes depicts a man and woman embracing. The woman, with light skin tone, wears a dark shawl and full skirt with a white band in her hair, her face upturned in distress. She clutches a man with medium-light skin tone who bows his head. Light from a barred window in the upper right illuminates the pair as they emerge from a dark, shadowy background.
