The Portrait of a Couple, by Agnolo Bronzino, depicts a man and woman standing side by side. The man on the left has short dark hair and wears a black doublet with gold chains, a white ruffled collar, and a brown belt. His right hand rests on a book on a table beside him, while his left hand on the woman's dress. The woman on the right wears a black dress with gold embroidery and white puffed sleeves, along with a head covering and a gold necklace. Her right hand on her chest and her left hand on a sword on her right side. The background of the painting is a dark brown color. A piece of paper and a seal are on the red table beside the man. The man and woman are looking forward.
