Many of our dreams for the future involve the idea of a home. This couple is saying to each other: let them have their mansion..we have our cottage.. (and that's the title of the painting.) The spirit of their ambition, is one of contentment, conservation, minimalism, and self-satisfaction; they're happy with what they have, and with their place in the World.
