Oil on canvas, 21 3/8 × 28 7/8" (54 × 73.4 cm). Two figures kiss with their faces shrouded in cloth, a haunting [[Surrealism|Surrealist]] image of desire thwarted by concealment. Painted in [[Paris]], the veiled faces have been linked to [[René Magritte|Magritte]]'s childhood trauma of his mother's drowning.
