Turpe senex miles...

Robert Boissard after Jean-Jacques Boissard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-body figures facing each other. On the left, a woman stands holding a fan in her right hand, partially covering her face. She wears an elegant high-collared dress with intricate curls in her hairstyle. The man on the right leans slightly towards the woman with his hands clasped in front of him. He has distinct facial features, a pointed beard, and short, curly hair. His attire is robe-like with voluminous sleeves. The background is plain and the lower portion of the image contains a cursive caption.
