Summary
"A young couple, fashionably dressed, embrace, seated in a summer-house on the bank of a stream. Beside the summer-house is a notice-board inscribed 'Man Traps'. Across the water is an ugly elderly man who leans forward, gaping with agonized intentness at the pair. There is a landscape background, the winding stream receding in perspective under trees."--British Museum online catalogue.
