About this work

This painting shows a man in a black coat and white shirt holding a book, standing next to a woman in a hat and shawl. She's holding a handkerchief to her face. In front of them, a man in a green coat is turned away, while another man in a yellow coat looks up at the woman. The background is dark. The woman seems upset, and the man with the book looks concerned. The man in the green coat is looking away, while the man in the yellow coat looks worried. Look up the National Gallery of Ireland next.
