About this work

A couple sits together, dressed in mourning clothes. They look somber, with dark colors surrounding them. The woman's dress is detailed, with a pattern on her sleeve, and the man's hat is tucked under his arm. The couple's facial expressions are subtle, not showing much emotion. This makes the painting feel quiet and still. To learn more about this style, look into the technique of sfumato.
