The painting shows a standing woman seemingly acting as a messenger between the seated younger lady and her unseen lover. It was famously stolen on 27 April 1974 during a raid on Russborough House, Ireland, and again in 1986 by a gang led by the Dublin crime boss Martin Cahill, although in both cases it was recovered.
