The miniature depicts a scene set in an elegant interior, typical of the 18th century. A gentleman with powdered hair, dressed in a red coat and white stockings, is kneeling next to a woman, probably a maid, sitting on a richly decorated chair. The woman is wearing a light blue dress with white details and a typical headdress of the time. The background features refined details, such as pink curtains, mirrors and gilded decorations, which suggest an intimate and aristocratic atmosphere. The scene seems to capture a moment of gallant courtship, characteristic of Rococo painting, with a light and romantic tone. The ebonized frame gives a further touch of refinement to the work.
The frame measures 13×12
