The title of this work alludes to the flirting between the two characters, playing with the similarity between the basket chair and a confessional. The scene deals with one of the most frequent subjects in genre paintings from the second half of the nineteenth century: flirting and other games among the bourgeoisie. In opting for a vertical formant, the painter concentrates our attention on what is taking place, the gallant conversation between the two youths, avoiding the distraction of a broader landscape. The light color scheme, precise drawing and virtuoso finish are worthy of Palmaroli´s finest works. After passing through several private collections, this work was purchased by the artist´s son, who bequeathed it to the Museum of Modern Art in 1931.
