Two lovers in a room with a shuttered window and floral wallpaper. The young woman wearing a bonnet sits in a chair holding the hand of the young man who has arrived disguised as a woman. The huge hat he has removed is lying on a table in front of a pole screen, together with a paper on which is printed "The beau stratagem." A traveling box is before the table on the carpeted floor
