| Description |
In a gesture of tenderness that transcends time
and culture, a man and woman are shown in a
gentle embrace. The woman sits behind her
mate, clutching his waist as if they were listening
to tales told around the fire. In mood and
gesture, they resemble depictions of affectionate
couples from ancient Egypt or Etruria. Linked
together for all time, they remind us of the
timeless emotions which are shared by all
mankind.
