Two Figures in Costume

Jan van de Velde II

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two people standing next to each other. The person on the left has their hands on their hips, while the person on the right has their right arm crossed over their chest. The person on the left has a round face with delicate features, a ruffled collar, a bonnet, and an elaborate gown. The gown has long sleeves, a high neckline, and a voluminous skirt with intricate patterns and a large floral embellishment. The person on the right has a long hat with a wide brim, covering part of their face. They wear a cape over one shoulder and a layered outfit with stockings and pointed shoes. The background features a brick or stone structure, a large building with a hipped roof in the distance, trees, and possibly a low wall.
