At Least Be Discreet and You May Count on Me (pair)

Augustin de Saint-Aubin

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two oval portraits in a pair of black and white illustrations. The left portrait features a woman in 18th-century dress with a large ruffled hat and a dress with ruffles on the sleeves and bodice. The woman touches her mouth with her right hand. The right portrait shows a man in 18th-century attire with a flower on his lapel, touching his mouth with his right hand. Both portraits are set against a dark background with a curtain and a circular frame. Small oval medallions are positioned below each portrait. The portraits appear to be etchings or engravings. The overall style is formal and ornate.
