This painting shows a man and woman standing outdoors. The man wears a white shirt, a red patterned skirt, and a hat, holding a curved sword in one hand. The woman has a long red-and-gold dress with intricate designs, and she holds something small in her hand. The background is a simple sky and grassy field. Notice how the woman’s dress has detailed patterns, while the man’s clothing is simpler but still colorful. The artist used bright, flat colors with sharp outlines, which was common in this style.
