A vertically oriented woodcut in dark brown ink on tan paper features two nude figures flanking the text "LES Amours de MARIE." On the left, a man with defined muscles faces right, leaning against a column that curls into plumes. On the right, a woman stands with her back turned against a matching column. Parallel lines create high contrast shading on their bodies and the floral base, with plumes arching to frame the title.
