The man has a pronounced nose and chin and is wearing a tall hat, rolled-up pants, a vest, and shirt, with a coat or jacket slung over his shoulder. He carries an umbrella and a pair of boots tied together. The woman wears a bonnet and a long dress with a shawl, while carrying a woven basket. The background is minimal with a sketched landscape and a large shadow above the figures.

  2. Shown from the waist up in front of a black background, a young woman with pale white skin and curly brown hair looks directly out at us over her shoulder with her body angled to our left in this vertical portrait. She has dark brown eyes, a straight nose, smooth skin, and her pink lips are closed. Curls fall across her forehead but the rest of her hair is pulled up under a white lace scarf, called a mantilla. The mantilla is tucked under the wide orange and black shawl wrapped around her shoulders. She clasps her hands at her waist, and her hands and forearms are covered with long white gloves that disappear under the shawl.
