National Gallery of Art

The image shows two children in an engraving style, standing from head to toe. The child on the left has a youthful face and short hair, wearing a traditional 17th-century outfit. The child on the right also has a youthful face with styled hair, wearing a dress and holding a bouquet. Pastoral elements surround them, including a goat and a deer-like animal. In the background are lush trees, distant hills, and wisps forming cherubs. The bottom corners depict detailed foliage.
