The woman touches his proper right arm with her proper right hand and holds an open, heart-shaped valentine in her lap with her proper left hand. She rests her head on his temple and closes her eyes. Faint smiles touch their lips. The woman wears her hair back in a bun with a fringed shawl draped over her shoulders and a cameo pin at the neckline of her blouse. A handbag rests next to her proper right side. The man wears a woven and checked sweater vest, bow tie and cap. The clothing displays a variety of brown tones.
