DescriptionA man in the foreground (possibly a self-portrait) holds a bouquet of flowers and puts a hand to his heart while a cupid floats above. all are encompassed by a blue rectangle. To the right, outside the rectangle, a standing female nude, presumably occupying a different space. The print shows some staining from light and an acid matt, but not so much as to preclude display.
