A Fashionable Couple Seen from Behind

Philibert d'Amiens de Ranchicourt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch of a man and a woman standing side by side, viewed from behind. The man is on the left, with a slight bend in his right arm. He wears a top hat, knee-length coat, trousers, and knee-high boots. The woman stands on the right, leaning slightly forward, holding a closed parasol. She wears a wide-brimmed hat with a ribbon, a long dress with a fitted bodice and full skirt, and flat shoes. The background is plain.
