This painting depicts a romantic scene under a large, bare tree. A couple is embracing near the base of the tree. One figure is wearing a red coat, and the other is wearing a long, flowing yellow dress. The tree's branches extend across the upper portion of the canvas, creating a dramatic and somewhat melancholic feeling.

In the background, across a body of water, a cityscape is visible. The buildings are rendered in muted tones of gray and beige, creating a sense of distance. The sky above the cityscape is a hazy mix of colors, suggesting either sunrise or sunset. The ground beneath the tree and the couple is rendered in an abstract pattern of greens and browns. The composition focuses on the central image of the couple and the tree, with the background providing context and depth.
