The composition features an elegant woman wearing traditional Venetian garb with a prominent headpiece and a voluminous bodice in a bold shade of scarlet red, being offered a tempting Baicoli biscuit by a lovely gentleman, who is also dressed in red which pops against the dark blues of the surrounding orb, with architectural elements suggesting Venice.
