Summary

A male and female couple stand in the street beside a cottage. The woman has her right hand resting on the gate of the cottage whilst a bespeckled elderley lady stares out of a ground floor window. The womens left hand is in the hand of her male companion. A garland of flowers lies on the floor to the right. On a path to the right stand two more couples all seen from behind. The crescent moon is high in the sky. A building can be seen to the right in the distance.
