Description:

In a park, a very embarrassed man—presumably engaged in some impromptu and urgent personal business—holds up his pants with one hand while, with the other, he doffs his hat to the young lady he had planned to marry. She and her chaperone pass by without glancing at him.

The caption reads in the original French: Le mariage manqué.
