The Juggler and the Woman

Israhel van Meckenem

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-length figures, a man and a woman, against a textured background. The woman stands on the left, holding the man's wrist. She wears a cap and a long gown, with a purse and a container at her waist. The man poses with one leg raised and leans back, with long hair and a tunic. He holds ribbons in his hand. Items like a satchel and a belt are near their feet. Intricate ribbons swirl around them, and a jug rests on the ground.
