Unidentified artist

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a drawing of a man and woman. The woman is on the left side and wears a long green dress with a red and gold top. Her hair is styled in a bun on top of her head. The man on the right wears a white robe with a green vest over it. He holds a sword in one hand and a tassel in the other. The man faces the woman and appears to touch her face. To the right of the pair is a large pot with flowers and greenery. To the left is a small table with a black top and red flowers. The background is a muted brown color. The drawing appears to be on a piece of aged paper. There is a red stamp in the upper center and a color scale at the bottom.
