National Gallery of Art

This drawing depicts two profiles framed by separate oval borders. On the left, an elderly man is shown facing right, from the shoulders up with a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, and visible wrinkles. His hair is curly, and he wears a cap and a robe. On the right, an elderly woman is shown facing left, from the shoulders up with a pointed nose, prominent eyes, and a calm expression. She wears a head covering. The background consists of horizontal lines adding texture to each oval. The two portraits are adjacent, creating a symmetrical composition.
