Das Ehepaar (The Married Couple)

Heinrich Hoerle

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two stylized figures from the waist up, embracing each other. One figure has a topknot or bun hairstyle with curly details, an elongated face with distinct facial features. The other figure has a bald head, a wrinkled face with a beard and furrowed brow, wearing a suit with a tie. Both are holding a common object between their hands. The art style is sketch-like with minimal shading on a plain background.
