Full length portrait of a seated, middle aged couple behind a small table with tablecloth on it. There are flowers and an open book on it. She is wearing a conical cap tied under the chin, a dark bodice and a shawl with a light-coloured skirt. The man on the right has an elbow on the table, and straddles a chair at an angle. He wears a dark jacket and light trousers and a pair of gaiters. Lightly hand coloured. They are wearing French regional costume. The plate is apparently marked Christofle.
