Description: Charming design depicting a man and a woman looking at a book. The absence of a figurative background gives all the attention to both figures. The woman is standing while the seated man is showing her the book pointing at one sheet.

Their clothes are remarkable and are the true protagonists of the design. Both with organic patterns and subtle bokashi (color gradation), they surely highlight the designer’s attention to detail as well as his skill in depicting figures with very delicate and graceful faces and hands.

There are slight spots on the front, and some stains on the back.
