"Aecht Sonder-Ziel" and "Heertje Al-te-mooy"

Johannes and Lucas van Doetechum after Pieter Bruegel the Elder

National Gallery of Art

The image features two oval portraits side by side. The portrait on the left shows an old man wearing a hooded garment with only his face visible. He has wrinkles and a somber expression, looking forward. The man on the right has curly, short hair and wears a flat cap. He has age lines and looks slightly upward with a thoughtful expression. The background of each portrait is lined, and the image is rendered in a monochromatic, etching-like style.
