Man and Woman under a Tree

William Strang

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two people sitting side by side. The person on the left is seated with their body slightly leaning forward, resting their chin on their hand. They have a featureless face obscured by a hooded garment, and their hair is not visible. This person is dressed in a long, flowing cloak or robe that covers most of their body. Beside them on the ground lies a woven basket. The person on the right is seated upright, holding a cup or mug in one hand and resting their other hand on their knee. Their facial features are slightly more defined, with visible eyes and a beard or stubble, and they appear to have short hair. They are dressed in a shirt and trousers, with visible footwear, and an object resembling a tool, possibly an axe, rests on the ground near their feet. In the background, two large, textured trees stand prominently behind the people, with smaller trees and foliage extending into the distance.
