Circle of Urs Graf I

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two full figures of individuals, a man and a woman, standing together. The man is on the left, in a slightly angled stance with his head turned toward the woman. He has curly hair and is wearing an elaborate outfit with puffed sleeves and decorative elements, including a large feathered adornment on his back. The woman stands on the right, facing the man, and is positioned slightly behind him. Her hair is styled in an elaborate manner with curls and adorned with a headpiece. She is wearing a dress with accentuated shoulders and a tight bodice, detailed with accents and a belt, and extends her arm. Both figures stand on a ground with rocks and foliage, and in the background, there is a landscape featuring a river, trees, and buildings with prominent towers.
