A man in a black tailcoat and white collar stands at left, head bowed, gesturing toward a seated woman with red-orange hair and a pale blue-green gown. A dark hat sits in the foreground, and a lamp with a cream shade glows at right. The word "sagesse" appears above in loose lettering against a speckled gray ground.
