About this work

This pen and brown ink drawing shows a man and a woman in 17th-century dress. The man is wearing a hat and a cloak, and the woman has a large hat and a dress with a low neckline. They are standing together, looking at each other. The drawing is done in a detailed and realistic style, with lots of lines and shading to create depth and texture. The artist has used a range of techniques, including hatching and cross-hatching, to create different tones and textures. The drawing is an example of Baroque art, which was popular in Europe during the 17th century. It is held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, and is a great example of the style and technique of Netherlandish 17th Century artists.
