Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man and a woman standing facing each other, clasping their right hands together. The man, on the left, wears a hat, a robe with a high collar, a tunic, pantaloons, and shoes. His face shows a stern expression, a defined nose, and no visible facial hair. The woman, on the right, wears a gown with a lace ruff around her neck, styled hair with a headpiece, and holds a fan in her left hand. The background features drapes, a patterned floor, and an illuminated circle with Hebrew characters.
