This painting shows a man and a woman standing outdoors. The man wears a bright yellow coat with black boots, a striped sash, and a tall hat. The woman has on a long orange skirt with a patterned sash, gold jewelry, and a dark headpiece. Both look like they’re dressed for a special occasion, and the background has a castle and trees. The woman holds a fan, and the man has a relaxed but confident stance. The colors are bold and flat, with no deep shadows. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
