Figure descriptions
A man and a woman stand at a counter in a jewellery store. The man holds onto the
woman’s extended arm with his left hand and
looks at the clerk on the other side of the counter. The man holds his hat in his
right hand. The woman uses part of her skirt to
hide her face as she extends her hand toward the clerk and leans away from the counter.
There is a basket on the ground beside her
feet. There is a glass case filled with jewellery on the counter. The clerk reaches
over the case and holds the woman’s hand with
one of his hands, and uses his other hand to slip a ring onto her finger. A small
cushion with additional jewellery sits on the
counter beside the glass case. A second glass case is mounted on the wall. It is filled
with decorative objects such as plates,
jugs, and chalices. This case contains two small curtains which have been pushed to
the sides. There is another curtain at the right
side of the store. Full-page illustration contained within a single-ruled border.
