About this work

This painting shows two people dressed in traditional Swabian clothes. The man has a hat, coat, and boots. The woman wears a long skirt and apron. Both stand stiff and formal. Their clothes look heavy and old-fashioned. The colors are dull and dark. The artist, Martin Dichtl, made the fabric folds look real. You can almost feel the stiff wool of their clothes. Most Baroque art shows kings or saints. This one shows regular farmers. If you like how clothes show character, check out another Baroque painter named Frans Hals.
