    "description": "In this delightful image, a playful artist attached a flap of paper over the cabin of a gondola, concealing the lovers within and inviting the viewer to play \"peek-a-boo.\" When the flap is lifted, a man's secret amorous advances toward his lady are revealed, and the woman coyly acknowledges the viewer's voyeuristic gaze.",
