Johannes and Lucas van Doetechum after Pieter Bruegel the Elder

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two portraits side by side within oval frames. The portrait on the left shows the upper body of a person facing slightly to the right. The person has distinctive facial features including prominent cheekbones and deep-set eyes. Their hair is short, dark, and appears slightly tousled beneath a cap. They are wearing a garment with a subtle texture that resembles a cloak or robe. The background within the oval frame has a lined texture. The portrait on the right depicts a similar upper body view but in profile, facing left. The subject has a pronounced nose and wrinkles, indicating age. Their head is covered with a patterned headscarf, and they are dressed in a simple garment. The background has a lined texture and both are enclosed by oval lines against a simple backdrop.
