Two Elegant Couples [verso]

Francesco Guardi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three figures standing together. They wear elaborate headdresses with feathers or decorations and voluminous clothing. The figures appear to be in a loosely gathered group, with two closer together on the right side and one standing slightly apart on the left. The figures have indistinct facial features and the background is plain and neutral.
