About this work

This image shows three people in 18th-century clothing. The woman in the middle wears a long striped dress with a bow at her neck. She has a large skirt and a head covering. The two men on either side are dressed in fancy outfits with lace, ruffles, and fancy shoes. They both have wigs and carry swords. The people are standing on a simple floor with a line at the bottom, and the background is plain. The image is made using engravings and etchings on paper. If you want to learn more about this style of art, look into the Baroque movement.
