Image of a young man and woman seated in a boat; the long-haired woman holds what appear to be leaves or flowers in her lap, and trails one small branch or vine in the water; the man sits immediately behind her and regards her turned face; the woman’s long full sleeves and the man’s small decorated cap suggest a historical setting – possibly Renaissance; a small hill on the shore is visible behind the boat.
