This painting shows two people standing close together. The person on the left wears a dark coat with a high collar, a black hat, and a gold necklace. The person on the right has a wide-brimmed yellow hat, a dark dress, and a light scarf around their neck. Behind them, a fence and some trees are visible against a blue sky. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the figures a slightly rough look. The colors are bold but not realistic—like the bright yellow hat or the deep blue background. This painting uses tempera, a paint made from pigment mixed with a water-soluble binder.
