Portrait of a Man and Woman

American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image features a portrait of a man and a woman, depicting their upper bodies. The man is on the left, seated upright with a calm expression, short dark hair, and a mustache. He is wearing a dark buttoned jacket with a high collar, decorative buttons, and a wide-brimmed dark hat. The woman is seated on the right, also upright, with her hands folded on her lap. She has dark hair pulled back neatly, wearing a dress with a white collar, long sleeves, and accessories. The backdrop is plain and dark, with slightly worn edges on the photograph.
