This is a genre painting by Shin Yun-bok illustrating love between a man and woman. The quiet building slightly shaded by a tree, a closed door, and two pairs of shoes outside all suggest that there is a couple in the room. A girl with a liquor bottle hesitates to enter, hinting at the sexual desire felt by the couple in the room. Sin Yun-bok’s seal is marked in the upper left of the screen.
