A Man Caresses a Woman: The Sense of Touch

A man seated in a richly furnished interior embraces a woman on his lap, while a servant in a long dress tends the bed beside an open casement window. A fireplace, a framed picture on the wall, and a tall canopied bed frame the scene, enclosed by an engraved border with Latin verses and a title cartouche.
