Walter Gramatté

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two overlapping figures, focusing on their facial features. The figure on the right shows a full face and part of the upper body, facing front. The face has large eyes and textured hair. The attire appears to be a textured garment. Beside them, a figure in profile faces left with a distinct nose and chin. The figure has wave-like hair or a beard. The background is textured with a teal band horizontally across the image. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The composition emphasizes patterns and textures.
