About this work

This print shows a husband and wife in eight different poses. It’s part of a set of 16 images, all from the same couple. Each version highlights their profiles—front, back, and side—with a clean, simple line. The artist strips away extra details to keep only what’s needed to recognize them. It nods to old portrait miniatures and silhouettes, but feels fresh and modern. Look up Opie, Julian.
