LesAmantsDiaboliques, A man and a woman in a small Parisian apartment at night. The man, on the left side of the frame pacing between a bookshelf and a writing desk, wears charcoal pinstripe suit trousers with a belt and creases, black Oxford shoes polished, a white shirt with three buttons open at the collar and no tie with the shirt tails untucked hanging over his trousers, and the sleeves rolled to just below the elbows. On a wooden chair near the door on the left, his dark gray suit jacket hangs over the back with both sleeves draped evenly over the chair's sides and the collar hooked over the top rail. The woman, on the right side of the frame sitting on a stool centered at a walnut vanity table against the far wall, wears a deep burgundy velvet sleeveless dress with a sweetheart neckline and the hem ending mid-calf. On the vanity table in front of her, a pair of elbow-length black gloves lies side by side with palms down and fingers pointing toward the mirror. She holds a gold locket necklace in her right hand with the chain dangling and the locket resting on her palm. On the writing desk between them, a round glass ashtray on the right corner holds twelve cigarette butts pointing in different directions, and a half-full wine glass stands on the left corner 40 cm from the ashtray. The telephone receiver hangs off the hook swinging 15 cm below the tabletop.
