Two lovers sit close on a low stone wall while a pair of lambs nibbles the grass at their feet, a pastoral scene that was a favorite motif on French romantic postcards. The handwritten French message on the card would have carried the sentiment, since sending a card like this was a common way to express affection in the decades around 1900, when illustrated postcards were a popular and inexpensive form of correspondence. Lambs often symbolized innocence and gentle courtship in this kind of imagery, and the open rural setting reflects the idealized countryside that such cards tended to show.
