The image shows two individuals posing side by side. The man on the left wears a hat with a large feather, a doublet, a short cape, stockings, and bow-adorned shoes. The woman on the right wears a gown with puffed sleeves and a lace collar, with a bejeweled headpiece in her voluminous hair. Both individuals are in front of a checkered floor, with a coat of arms featuring a crown in the upper right corner.
