The Two Couples in the Forest

Johan Wierix after Lucas van Leyden

National Gallery of Art

The image shows four individuals in a forest setting. The individuals are standing closely together, with two women in the foreground, a man slightly behind them to the left, and another man to the right. The women are dressed in long, flowing garments with intricate folds and wear headdresses. One woman has a serene expression and delicate features, while the other woman is looking downward. The men have longer hair and wear tunics with extended sleeves, with one gesturing. They appear to be engaged in an interaction. The background features tall trees with visible branches and foliage.
