Pale lithograph of a sleeping woman on a green couch beside a trellis with pink and purple roses, with a tall pale figure at the left.

Allegory, Plate One from Love

A sleeping young woman lies on a green cushioned couch, her head resting on her arm, with pink and purple roses trailing across a pale lattice behind her. A tall pale figure or drapery rises at the left edge, and the soft tints suggest a quiet, dreamlike interior.
