The painting depicts a scene with two figures - a man and a woman - in a classical, antique style. The woman relaxes with her head resting on the man's shoulder, while the man sits tending a small bird. Both are only partially clothed; the man is wearing a red cloak. In the background, we see a calm sea with a boat, and things like a hat, a guitar, and a rifle can be seen laying on the sandy beach.

Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863). After the untimely death of Gericault, Delacroix became a leading representative of French romanticism. His pictures experimented with colours, and he enlivened his images by placing different colours side by side so as to mix in the eye of the viewer. This opened the door to the birth of Impressionism. Delacroix’s work forms a unified whole, and his talent was able to combine romanticism, classicism, oil painting, graphics and other techniques.
