About this work

This painting shows two people side by side. On the left, a man in a dark military coat with red sash and silver buttons sits stiffly, his hand resting on a ledge. On the right, a woman in a red dress with white lace at the neck and sleeves sits more relaxed, her hands folded. The man’s uniform suggests he might be in the military, while the woman’s dress looks fancy and old-fashioned. Both portraits are painted in a smooth, polished style.
